Disparate responses of above- and belowground properties to soil disturbance by an invasive mammal [PDF]
, 2014 Introduced mammalian herbivores can negatively affect ecosystem structure and function if they introduce a novel disturbance to an ecosystem. For example, belowground foraging herbivores that bioturbate the soil, may alter process rates and community ...

Stakeholders' views on the global guidelines for the sustainable use of non‐native trees
People and NatureA large number of non‐native trees (NNTs) have been introduced globally and widely planted, contributing significantly to the world's economy. Although some of these species present a limited risk of spreading beyond their planting sites, a growing ...

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.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.

Spatial prediction of species’ distributions from occurrence-only records: combining point pattern analysis, ENFA and regression-kriging [PDF]
, 2009 A computational framework to map species’ distributions (realized density) using occurrence-only data and environmental predictors is presented and illustrated using a textbook example and two case studies: distribution of root vole (Microtes oeconomus ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1556-1584, May 2026.Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Inferring processes of community assembly from macroscopic patterns: the case for inclusive and mechanistic approaches [PDF]
, 2017 Statistical techniques exist for inferring community assembly processes from community patterns. Habitat filtering, competition, and biogeographical effects have, for example, been inferred from signals in phenotypic and phylogenetic data. The usefulness

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Understanding why closely related species can have drastically different distributional range sizes is a fundamental question in biology. However, answering this question is challenging due to the multiple inter‐related factors that shape species distributions, particularly in continental regions, where unclear ecological and geographic ...

Aquatic invertebrate communities in tank bromeliads: how well do classic ecological patterns apply? [PDF]
, 2014 Tank bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) often occur in high densities in the Neotropics and represent a key freshwater habitat in montane forests, housing quite complex invertebrate communities.
