Environmental filtering, where the environment selects against certain species, is thought to
be a major mechanism structuring communities. However, recent criticisms cast doubt on …

The merger of phylogenies with ecology has given rise to the field of “community
phylogenetics,” predicated on the assumption that ecological differences among species …

Aim We investigated the consistency between richness and trait-based diversity metrics in
capturing the effects of management-related habitat factors on biodiversity. The choice of …

Context Recovery from disturbances is a prominent measure of forest ecosystem resilience,
with swift recovery indicating resilient systems. The forest ecosystems of Central Europe …

Community ecology has experienced a major transition, from a focus on patterns in
taxonomic composition, to revealing the processes underlying community assembly through …

How communities assemble is a central and fundamental question in ecology. However, it
has been mired by conflicting conclusions about whether community assembly is driven by …

Biodiversity across multiple trophic levels is required to maintain multiple ecosystem
functions. Yet it remains unclear how multitrophic diversity and species interactions regulate …

Recent progress in remote sensing provides much-needed, large-scale spatio-temporal
information on habitat structures important for biodiversity conservation. Here we examine …

Most ecological studies use remote sensing to analyze broad‐scale biodiversity patterns,
focusing mainly on taxonomic diversity in natural landscapes. One of the most important …
