Assessing the accuracy and stability of variable importance in species distribution modelling algorithms through sample perturbations

Ecography, EarlyView.
Variable importance derived from species distribution modelling (SDM) is widely used to identify key environmental drivers of species distributions. However, the reliability of these inferences has rarely been systematically evaluated, particularly with respect to their sensitivity to individual occurrences.

Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

From patterns to predictions: a framework for the spatial epidemiology of wildlife diseases

Ecography, EarlyView.
Wildlife diseases pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation, public health, and livestock. Spatial epidemiology provides a robust framework to understand disease dynamics and guide policy and management. However, the rapid proliferation of spatial methods has largely occurred in isolation across disciplines, leaving the field without a ...

Aridity mediates the above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity–ecosystem stability relationship

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the macroecological drivers of biodiversity and ecosystem stability, i.e. the ability of an ecosystem to maintain its structure and function, is crucial to inform how ecosystems can be managed and conserved effectively. Here, we conducted a field survey of plant and soil biota (bacteria, fungi, and nematodes) and estimated the temporal ...

Spatial variation and predictors of plant species' intrinsic climate sensitivity across the conterminous United States

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how species' sensitivity to climate varies spatially across their ranges and elucidating the important causes is essential for identifying ecologically meaningful geographic units and conservation actions for biodiversity. In this study, we estimated climatic occurrence niches of vascular plants to explore the spatial variation in species'
