Scalogram habitat measures as predictors of bird abundance

Ecography, EarlyView.
Birds select habitat characteristics, such as variability in habitat structure, across multiple spatial scales (grain and extent). Measuring habitat variability at multiple scales can better capture factors that influence avifauna communities than focusing on one scale only. One valuable tool in assessing habitat heterogeneity is the cumulative dynamic

Patterns and drivers of biotic disturbance hotspots in western United States coniferous forests

Ecography, EarlyView.
Globally, forest disturbances caused by herbivorous insects and plant pathogens (i.e. biotic disturbances) have increased since the 1990s, a trend linked in part to climate warming. With increases in biotic disturbance activity, an emerging ecological phenomenon has been documented: biotic disturbance ‘hotspots', or areas where two or more biotic ...

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

Ecography, 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.

Assessing benthos through predator stomach contents: spatiotemporal modeling of abundance and habitat use

Ecography, EarlyView.
In shelf ecosystems, benthic invertebrates facilitate nutrient recycling and the transfer of energy to higher trophic levels. However, large‐scale monitoring through direct sampling (e.g. using benthic grabs or bottom trawls) can be costly in terms of time and labor.
