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 ...

Generalised bumblebee–flower interactions demonstrate weak floral niche partitioning despite a high bee diversity

Ecography, EarlyView.
Niche partitioning is one of the key mechanisms allowing species coexistence and is especially relevant in species‐rich communities. For pollinators, morphology is a major axis in which species differentiate their foraging niche, as it influences the match with flower morphology. Bumblebees Bombus spp.

Most mammals do not wander: few species escape continental endemism

Ecography, EarlyView.
Terrestrial mammals are found nearly everywhere on Earth. Yet, most taxa are endemic to a single continent; geological, evolutionary, ecological, or physiological filters constrain geographic distributions. Here, we synthesize data on geography, taxonomy, lineage age, dispersal, body size, and diet for > 4000 terrestrial mammals prior to detectable ...

Wild bees and landcover: bee species' body size does not predict the scale of effect, but bee phenology predicts association with landcover type

Ecography, EarlyView.
Habitat is a key aspect of any species' niche and can affect populations at multiple spatial scales. Basic ecology and effective conservation thus require an understanding of which habitats matter and at what scales. Yet, habitat studies are rarely scale‐optimized, and what determines the scale(s) at which populations are affected by surrounding ...

Correcting environmental sampling bias improves transferability of species distribution models

Ecography, EarlyView.
Sampling bias is an inherent problem in widely available biodiversity data, undermining the robustness of correlative species distribution models (SDMs). To some extent, subsampling occurrence data can account for uneven sampling efforts; yet, conventional approaches subsample in geographical space, while subsampling in environmental space remains ...
