Taxon‐dependent multisite species turnover in fragmented habitats: comparing zeta diversity across birds, butterflies, and cursorial hunting spiders

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation alters species diversity and reshapes community composition. However, conventional pairwise approaches to compositional variation (i.e. beta diversity metrics) do not explicitly characterize how species sharing or turnover change with the number of habitat patches.

Assessing the accuracy and stability of variable importance in species distribution modelling algorithms through sample perturbations

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Variable importance derived from species distribution modelling (SDM) is widely used to identify key environmental drivers of species distributions. However, the reliability of these inferences has rarely been systematically evaluated, particularly with respect to their sensitivity to individual occurrences.

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Spatial variation and predictors of plant species' intrinsic climate sensitivity across the conterminous United States

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding how species' sensitivity to climate varies spatially across their ranges and elucidating the important causes is essential for identifying ecologically meaningful geographic units and conservation actions for biodiversity. In this study, we estimated climatic occurrence niches of vascular plants to explore the spatial variation in species'
