Beyond Niche Overlap: Axis‐Specific Reorganisation of Environmental Space in Freshwater Crayfish Invasions

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding whether invasive species retain or shift their ecological niches has relied on scalar overlap metrics that quantify the magnitude of niche change but not its structure. Here, we test whether biological invasions involve a reorganisation of the environmental axes along which native and invasive ranges are differentiated, and ...

A problem with variable selection in a comparison of correlative and process‐based species distribution models: Comments on Higgins et al., 2020

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Comments are presented on an article published in October 2020 in Ecology and Evolution (“Predictive ability of a process‐based versus a correlative species distribution model”) by Higgins et al. This analyzed natural distributions of Australian eucalypt

Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1349-1360, August 2026.
Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...

Blessing and curse of bioclimatic variables: A comparison of different calculation schemes and datasets for species distribution modeling within the extended Mediterranean area

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Bioclimatic variables (BCVs) are the most widely used predictors within the field of species distribution modeling, but recent studies imply that BCVs alone are not sufficient to describe these limits. Unfortunately, the most popular database, WorldClim,

Beyond Current Borders: Modeling the Climate‐Mediated Invasion of Fusarium incarnatum Into New Agricultural Frontiers

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study models the global distribution of Fusarium incarnatum under current and future climate scenarios using MaxEnt and Bioclim approaches. Model projections identify regions of high suitability across temperate and subtropical zones, with consensus between modeling methods indicating the most reliable predictions.

The Ireland BioClim dataset for observational and future climate projections

Scientific Data
Bioclimatic variables are essential indicators used across disciplines including ecology, geography, environmental science, and regional planning. While global datasets such as WorldClim and CHELSA provide climate information, the absence of regionally ...

Scrutinizing the Wallacean shortfall: global gaps in snake occurrence data across space and environment

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Occurrence records are fundamental for ecological and evolutionary research, providing key information on species' geographic ranges. However, these records are often taxonomically, spatially, and temporally biased, requiring caution in their use. Here, we analysed the spatial coverage of occurrence records for over 3500 snake species worldwide to ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals biodiversity recovery in tropical forest restoration across multiple landscapes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Forest ecosystems have been degraded globally and restoration efforts aim to reverse loss of biodiversity and ecosystem function decline including carbon storage from the atmosphere. Assessments of restoration success predominantly emphasize increasing carbon stocks rather than species recovery.
