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.

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

Ecography, 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.

Long‐term homogenization of Fennoscandian heathland and tundra vegetation is connected to the expansion of an allelopathic dwarf shrub

Ecography, EarlyView.
Boreal and tundra plant communities are expected to change in biodiversity due to increasing global change pressures such as climate warming. One long‐term scenario is increasing compositional similarity, i.e. biotic homogenization, which has been relatively little studied in high‐latitude plant communities.

Impacts of Pleistocene extinctions on the biomass and energy use of local mammal assemblages around the world

Ecography, EarlyView.
Many of the world's megafaunal species went extinct during the late Quaternary, leading to dramatic reductions in community and ecosystem functioning. While the nature and severity of the extinctions are well documented on global and continental scales, less is known about local‐scale impacts.

Direct effects and prey‐mediated effects of global change in projections of early life stages of pelagic predators

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change will impact the distribution and abundance of predators through a combination of abiotic variables, such as temperature; and biotic variables, such as prey availability. However, there is a poor understanding of how distribution projections with biotic variables differ from those with abiotic variables, particularly in resource‐limited ...

Rainfall increases conformity and strength of species–area relationships

Ecography, EarlyView.
The positive relationship between species richness and area is regarded as one of the few laws in ecology. Therefore, deviations from predictable species–area scaling, evident as high residual variance in species–area curves, are often interpreted as anomalous behaviour.
