The use of functional diversity analyses in ecology has grown exponentially over the past
two decades, broadening our understanding of biological diversity and its change across …

The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

Biodiversity is essential for maintaining the terrestrial ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF).
Recent studies have revealed that the variations in terrestrial ecosystem functions are …

The use of n‐dimensional hypervolumes in trait‐based ecology is rapidly increasing. By
representing the functional space of a species or community as a Hutchinsonian niche, the …

Analyses of morphological disparity have been used to characterize and investigate the
evolution of variation in the anatomy, function and ecology of organisms since the 1980s …

Mammalian life shows huge diversity, but most groups remain nocturnal in their activity
pattern. A key unresolved question is whether mammal species that have diversified into …

Multidimensional analysis of traits are now common in ecology and evolution and are based
on trait spaces in which each dimension summarizes the observed trait combination (a …

Phylogenetic analyses often produce large numbers of trees. Mapping trees' distribution in
“tree space” can illuminate the behavior and performance of search strategies, reveal …

To protect threatened species, iNaturalist, one of the most important repositories of
geographic information on species' geographic distributions, deliberately adds uncertainty to …

Invasive alien species represent a serious threat to global biodiversity, causing considerable
damage to native ecosystems. To better assess invasion risks, it is essential to better …
