New technologies for monitoring biodiversity such as environmental (e) DNA, passive
acoustic monitoring, and optical sensors promise to generate automated spatiotemporal …

Aim More than ever, ecologists seek to understand how species are distributed and have
assembled into communities using the “filtering framework”. This framework is based on the …

Aim Predicting the spatial distribution of species assemblages remains an important
challenge in biogeography. Recently, it has been proposed to extend correlative species …

Complex statistical methods are continuously developed across the fields of ecology,
evolution, and systematics (EES). These fields, however, lack standardized principles for …

Animal movement studies are conducted to monitor ecosystem health, understand
ecological dynamics, and address management and conservation questions. In marine …

Spatiotemporal patterns in biological communities are typically driven by environmental
factors and species interactions. Spatial data from communities are naturally described by …

Functional traits offer a promising avenue to improve predictions of species range shifts
under climate change, which will entail warmer and often drier conditions. Although the …

Dung beetles are increasingly used as a study taxon—both as bioindicators of
environmental change, and as a model system for exploring ecosystem functioning. The …

Aim Separating the biotic and abiotic factors controlling species distributions has been a
long‐standing challenge in ecology and biogeography. Joint species distribution models …

Invasive alien species are major drivers of global change that can have severe impacts on
biodiversity and human well‐being. Management strategies implemented to mitigate these …
