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 ...

Living in the edge: demographic responses driven by density‐dependence and pulsed resources in a hibernating mammal

Ecography, EarlyView.
Populations at the edge of a species' distribution often encounter more challenging environmental conditions than those at the core, requiring unique adaptations and strategies. However, the demographic processes driving these populations remain poorly understood.

A test of the abundant‐center hypothesis for stream fishes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The abundant‐center hypothesis (ACH) provides a conceptual model for predicting range‐wide distributions of species abundance, suggesting that abundance peaks in the center of the geographic range and declines towards range edges. Empirical studies testing the ACH and its subsequent derivations predominantly occurred in terrestrial systems and reported

Functional and phylogenetic convergence of winter and breeding bird communities in the northeastern US

Ecography, EarlyView.
Around the world, ecological communities are becoming more similar to one another in a process known as biotic homogenization – an increase in similarity among communities over time. While biotic homogenization has been widely studied among spatial communities, very little attention has been paid to beta diversity between seasonal communities ...

Evolutionary trajectories of multiple defense traits across phylogenetic and geographic scales in Vitis

Ecography, EarlyView.
The processes driving defense trait correlations may vary within and between species based on ecological or environmental contexts. However, most studies of plant defense theory fail to address this potential for shifts in trait correlations across scales.

Jaccard dissimilarity in stochastic community models based on the species‐independence assumption

Ecography, EarlyView.
A fundamental problem in ecology is understanding the changes in species composition among sites (i.e. beta‐diversity). It is unclear how spatial heterogeneity in species occupancy across sites shapes patterns of beta‐diversity. To address this question, we develop probabilistic models that consider two spatial or temporal sites, where presence ...
