Unraveling the role of environmental and anthropogenic drivers in shaping global patterns in mammal diversity

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Patterns in functional and phylogenetic diversity reflect ecological and evolutionary relationships among taxa, and thus can offer key insights into the mechanisms underlying species distributions. However, disentangling the relative influence of proximate environmental drivers versus biogeographic evolutionary history can be a challenge.

Network‐based bioregionalization of demersal fish in continental shelf seas

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Biogeographical partitioning of ecological communities has been renewed in recent decades to illustrate broad distributional patterns. In the oceans, observational datasets have grown substantially and open new access to test bioregional patterns beyond classically fixed thresholds of endemism to differentiate regions.

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Modelling the effects of global climate change on Chikungunya transmission in the 21st century

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The arrival and rapid spread of the mosquito-borne viral disease Chikungunya across the Americas is one of the most significant public health developments of recent years, preceding and mirroring the subsequent spread of Zika.

How weather triggers the emergence of bats from their subterranean hibernacula

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Hibernation is one of the most important behaviours of bats of the temperate zone. During winter, when little food or liquid water is available, hibernation in torpor lowers metabolic costs.

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reliably recovers arthropod interactions which are frequently observed by video recordings of flowers

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding promises to be a cost‐ and time‐efficient monitoring tool to detect interactions of arthropods with plants.

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.
