Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems
Ecography, EarlyView.Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Ecography, EarlyView.Amphibians balance their thermal and water budgets depending on their physiological state and the physical environment, with both factors capable of constraining activity. Most mechanistic assessments emphasize thermal over water constraints, potentially missing important aspects of amphibian ecophysiological patterns.

Forest cover change in space and time : combining the von Thunen and forest transition theories [PDF]
This paper presents a framework for analyzing tropical deforestation and reforestation using the von Thunen model as its starting point: land is allocated to the use which yields the highest rent, and the rents of various land uses are determined by ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Human impacts on soil carbon dynamics of deep-rooted Amazonian forests and effect of land use change on the carbon cycle in Amazon soils [PDF]
The main objective of these NASA-funded projects is to improve our understanding of land-use impacts on soil carbon dynamics in the Amazon Basin. Soil contains approximately one half of tropical forest carbon stocks, yet the fate of this carbon following

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.
