Ecography, EarlyView.Projected warming and drying raise concerns about the resilience of stress‐adapted ecosystems, including the Brazilian Campo Rupestre, an exceptionally biodiverse mountaintop grassland mosaic on ancient, nutrient‐poor substrates. Here, we combine field‐based trait data and long‐term remote sensing to assess the functional structure and temporal ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Invasive freshwater bivalves harm native species, ecosystems and biodiversity, and incur economic costs. The enemy release hypothesis posits that invasive species are released from enemies during the invasion process, giving them a competitive advantage in the new environment.

Dietary specialization is linked to reduced species durations in North American fossil canids [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 How traits influence species persistence is a fundamental question in ecology, evolution and palaeontology. We test the relationship between dietary traits and both species duration and locality coverage over 40 million years in North American canids, a ...

Heritability of geographic range sizes revisited : a reply to Hunt et al. [PDF]
, 2005 Hunt et al.(2005) revisit the issue of range size heritability following our recent article on this topic (Webb and Gaston 2003). In that article, we showed that the range sizes of closely related species tend to be highly dissimilar and argued that this

The hitchhiker's guide to avian malaria [PDF]
, 2006 The ecological mechanisms underlying the dispersal of parasites are poorly understood, which is of particular concern in view of currently emerging infectious diseases.

Spatial distribution of acoustic traits in bird assemblages along regional bioclimatic gradients
Ecography, EarlyView.Environmental variation shapes acoustic interactions among birds, creating spatial structures in the sonic signature of local species assemblages. Exploring these patterns at regional scales can reveal processes that segregate acoustic strategies along environmental gradients.

Ecography, EarlyView.The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Climate change alters the spatial pattern of plant spectral diversity across forest types
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Species distribution, spatial distance, and neighboring interact6ions are among the most important drivers of global variation in plant species diversity. However, the effects of climate change on the relationship between spatial interactions and species

Snake eels (Ophichthidae) of the remote St. Peter and St. Paul’s Archipelago (Equatorial Atlantic) : Museum records after 37 years of shelf life [PDF]
, 2019 Despite of its major zoogeographical interest, the biological diversity of central Atlantic oceanic islands are still poorly known because of its remoteness.

A typing error in Tokeshi's test of bimodality [PDF]
, 2003 Copyright © 2003 Blackwell Publishing“One way to describe patterns of species distribution is to plot the frequency histograms using species–range-size data (Gaston, 1994; Brown, 1995; Gaston & Blackburn, 2000).
