Jaccard dissimilarity in stochastic community models based on the species‐independence assumption

Ecography, EarlyView.
A fundamental problem in ecology is understanding the changes in species composition among sites (i.e. beta‐diversity). It is unclear how spatial heterogeneity in species occupancy across sites shapes patterns of beta‐diversity. To address this question, we develop probabilistic models that consider two spatial or temporal sites, where presence ...

Freshwater fish functional diversity shows diverse responses to human activities, but consistently declines in the tropics

Ecography, EarlyView.
Freshwater environments are intertwined with human activities and the consequence has been environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Fish provide key ecological and economic benefits, and fish abundance and diversity can be affected by human activities resulting in functional diversity (FD) changes that might scale up to ecosystem impacts ...

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 ...

Integrating host condition into spatiotemporal multiscale models improves virus shedding predictions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding where and when pathogens occur in the environment has implications for reservoir population health and infection risk. In reservoir hosts, infection status and pathogen shedding are affected by processes interacting across different scales: from landscape features affecting host location and transmission to within‐host processes affecting
