Plants produce secondary metabolites which are involved in several biological processes
and interactions with other organisms from microbes to insects to higher plants. These …

The challenge Understanding how biotic interactions affect species' geographical ranges,
biodiversity patterns and ecological responses to environmental change is one of the most …

Observational studies have not yet shown that environmental variables can explain
pervasive nonlinear patterns of species abundance, because those patterns could result …

Background: Plant communities are usually characterised by species composition and
abundance, but also underlie a multitude of complex interactions that we have only recently …

Understanding how biological patterns translate into functional processes across different
scales is a central question in ecology. Within a spatial context, extent is used to describe …

Species shifting their ranges under climate change are a conservation dilemma. Range‐
shifters may be threatened by climate change in their historic range. However, range …

Aim Alien plant species can cause severe ecological and economic problems, and therefore
attract a lot of research interest in biogeography and related fields. To identify potential …

Habitat studies that encompass a large portion of a species' geographic distribution can
explain characteristics that are either consistent or variable, further informing inference from …

Network theory allows us to understand complex systems by evaluating how their
constituent elements interact with one another. Such networks are built from matrices which …
