Impacts of large herbivores on terrestrial ecosystems
Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

The geographic footprint of mutualism: How mutualists influence species' range limits
Understanding mechanisms that generate range limits is central to knowing why species are
found where they are and how they will respond to environmental change. There is growing …

Local range boundaries vs. large‐scale trade‐offs: Climatic and competitive constraints on tree growth
LDL Anderegg, J HilleRisLambers - Ecology Letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Species often respond to human‐caused climate change by shifting where they occur on the
landscape. To anticipate these shifts, we need to understand the forces that determine …
