Demographic studies of plants and animals have a rich history and literature in ecology, and
are important for both fundamental and applied ecology and conservation biology. Almost all …

Treeline expansion is reported as a widespread response to rising temperatures, yet few
studies have considered the impact of treeline advance on the diversity and function of high …

Aim Stochastic patch occupancy models (SPOMs) are a type of spatial population
simulation. They are arguably well‐suited to guide conservation in human‐altered …

Understanding the relative importance of different ecological processes on the
metapopulation dynamics of species is the basis for accurately forecasting metapopulation …

Abstract Background and Aims The settling velocity of diaspores is a key parameter for the
measurement of dispersal ability in wind-dispersed plants and one of the most relevant …

The role of dispersal in controlling the distribution of species at landscape scale (102–104
m) is still a matter of dispute. Here, we use the early colonization pattern of 23 epiphytic …

Context Biodiversity is highly affected by industrial forestry, which leads to the loss and
fragmentation of natural habitats. To date, most conservation studies have evaluated …

Diversity patterns and dynamics at forest edges are not well understood. We disentangle the
relative importance of edge‐effect variables on spatio‐temporal patterns in species richness …

Epiphytic macrolichen lichens are important components of forest ecosystems, but their
responses to stand‐replacing fire and multiple successional pathways of the canopy tree …

Tree retention on clear-cuts is a relatively new measure in forestry aimed at 'lifeboating'forest
species during young seral periods. However, the effectiveness of tree retention for …
