DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2657
Abstract: Abstract A fundamental goal of ecology is to understand the determinants of species' distributions (i.e., the set of locations where a species is present). Competition among species (i.e., interactions among species that harms each of… read more here.

Enhanced effects of biotic interactions on predicting multispecies spatial distribution of submerged macrophytes after eutrophication
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3294
Abstract: Abstract Water eutrophication creates unfavorable environmental conditions for submerged macrophytes. In these situations, biotic interactions may be particularly important for explaining and predicting the submerged macrophytes occurrence. Here, we evaluate the roles of biotic interactions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9820
Abstract: Abstract Earth systems are nearing a global tipping point, beyond which the dynamics of biological communities will become unstable. One major driver of instability is species invasion, especially by organisms that act as “ecosystem engineers”… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.05.021
Abstract: Abstract Conservation introduction (CI), i.e. moving a species out of its current natural range for conservation purposes, is a highly controversial and rarely attempted conservation measure. One particular concern with these conservation actions is whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2020.e01239
Abstract: Abstract Climate change and biodiversity loss underscore the need for conservation planning, even in remote areas. Species distribution models (SDMs) can help identify critical habitat for reserve design and selection, and have quickly advanced to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-018-0260-y
Abstract: Abiotic factors are major determinants of soil animal distributions and their dominant role is pronounced in extreme ecosystems, with biotic interactions seemingly playing a minor role. We modelled co-occurrence and distribution of the three nematode… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-018-0274-5
Abstract: Abiotic and biotic factors control ecosystem biodiversity, but their relative contributions remain unclear. The ultraoligotrophic ecosystem of the Antarctic Dry Valleys, a simple yet highly heterogeneous ecosystem, is a natural laboratory well-suited for resolving the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17429145.2022.2038710
Abstract: ABSTRACT Carnivorous plants reverse the order we expect in nature: here, animals do not feed on plants, but plants hunt and feed on animal prey, primarily insects, thereby enabling these plants to survive in nutrient-poor… read more here.
