DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8232
Abstract: Abstract The phenotypic space encompasses the assemblage of trait combinations yielding well‐suited integrated phenotypes. At the population level, understanding the phenotypic space structure requires the quantification of among‐ and within‐population variations in traits and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3167
Abstract: Predicting the response of biological communities to changes in the environment or management is a fundamental pursuit of community ecology. Meeting this challenge requires the integration of multiple processes: habitat filtering, niche differentiation, biotic interactions,… read more here.

Abstract: Coexistence in spatially varying environments is theorised to be promoted by a variety of mechanisms including the spatial storage effect. The spatial storage effect promotes coexistence when: (i) species have unique vital rate responses to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aobpla/plz010
Abstract: Abstract Rapid local adaptation frequently occurs during the spread of invading species. It remains unclear, however, how consistent, and therefore potentially predictable, such patterns of local adaptation are. One approach to this question is to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13056
Abstract: Climate change is predicted to have profound consequences for multispecies coexistence, and thus, patterns of biological diversity. These consequences will be mediated by direct and indirect impacts of environmental change on species’ vital rates and… read more here.
