The effects of habitat filtering and non-habitat processes on species spatial distribution vary across life stages [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 2018
Premise of the StudyHabitat filtering and non‐habitat processes are two major processes affecting spatial distributions of species. Because trees at different life stages perform differently, the life stage of tree species could play an important role in shaping the spatial distribution of species and community assembly.

The Habitat Filters of Microbiota-Nourishing Immunity

Annual Review of Immunology, 2021
An imbalance in the microbiota may contribute to many human illnesses, which has prompted efforts to rebalance it by targeting the microbes themselves. However, by supplying the habitat, the host wields a prominent influence over microbial growth at body surfaces, raising the possibility that rebalancing the microbiota by targeting our immune system ...

Habitat filtering by landscape and local forest composition in native and exotic New Zealand birds

open access: yesEcology, 2014
Untangling the relative influences of environmental filtering and biotic interactions on species coexistence at various spatial scales is a long-held issue in community ecology. Separating these processes is especially important to understand the influences of introduced exotic species on the composition of native communities.

A TRAIT-BASED TEST FOR HABITAT FILTERING: CONVEX HULL VOLUME

Ecology, 2006
Community assembly theory suggests that two processes affect the distribution of trait values within communities: competition and habitat filtering. Within a local community, competition leads to ecological differentiation of coexisting species, while habitat filtering reduces the spread of trait values, reflecting shared ecological tolerances.

Phenotypic plasticity may mediate habitat filtering in a forest edge community

Oikos, 2021
A key process determining community assembly is habitat filtering, which reduces the range of trait values and thus leads to trait convergence. Habitat filtering is often assumed to involve a reduction in species richness, but such trait convergence could also result from phenotypic plasticity.
