Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology. In theory, SDMs capture (at
least part of) species' ecological niches and can be used to make inferences about the …

Seed dispersal is key to the persistence and spread of plant populations. Because the
majority of plant species rely on animals to disperse their seeds, global change drivers that …

Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of
population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

The effects of climate change on biodiversity are increasingly well documented, and many
methods have been developed to assess species' vulnerability to climatic changes, both …

The effects of climate change on biodiversity should depend in part on climate displacement
rate (climate-change velocity) and its interaction with species' capacity to migrate. We …

• Premise of the study: Near‐future climate changes are likely to elicit major vegetation
changes. Disequilibrium dynamics, which occur when vegetation comes out of equilibrium …

Species range limits involve many aspects of evolution and ecology, from species
distribution and abundance to the evolution of niches. Theory suggests myriad processes by …

Many species' range limits (RL) occur across continuous environmental gradients without
obvious barriers imposing them. Such RL are expected to reflect niche limits (NL) and thus …

Most multicellular terrestrial organisms experience climate at scales of millimetres to metres,
yet most species‐climate associations are analysed at resolutions of kilometres or more …
