A model-based approach to assess the effectiveness of pest biocontrol by natural enemies

, 2016
Main goal: The aim of this note is to propose a modeling approach for assessing the effectiveness of pest biocontrol by natural enemies in diversified agricultural landscapes including several pesticide-based management strategies.

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

Ecography, 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.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Temperature variability homogenized thermal responses in an ectotherm community along a European longitudinal gradient

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.

Co‐dominant species fail to compensate after 13‐year of dominant species removal in a Tibetan alpine grassland

Ecography, EarlyView.
To better understand the dynamics of community resilience, it is crucial to examine the role of dominant species in maintaining ecosystem functions. Dominant species, due to their high abundance, are considered to maintain productivity after species loss.

Physiology–microhabitat matching may help organisms cope with the thermal and hydric challenges under climate change: a tale of two lizards

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide refuge for species, thereby reducing exposure to thermal and hydric stress under climate change.
