Effects of biotic interactions on modeled species' distribution can be masked by environmental gradients

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"

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.

recommendations! 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.

Invasion by an ecosystem engineer changes biotic interactions between native and non‐native taxa

recommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"

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.

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology"

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.70069

Abstract: Seminal hypotheses in ecology and evolution postulate that stronger and more specialized biotic interactions contribute to higher species diversity at lower elevations and latitudes. Plant-chemical defenses mediate biotic interactions between plants and their natural enemies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-021-04602-0

Abstract: The aim of this review is to summarize the literature knowledge about how abiotic environmental factors and biotic interactions affect the sequentially overlapping longitudinal distribution of Central European species of the net-spinning freshwater caddisfly larvae… 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/s41467-024-49383-x

Abstract: Although different ecological factors shape adaptative evolution in natural habitats, we know little about how their interactions impact local adaptation. Here we used eight generations of experimental evolution with outcrossing Brassica rapa plants as a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-69041-y

Abstract: Climate change significantly impacts the distribution of woody plants, indirectly influencing the dynamics of entire ecosystems. Understanding species' varied responses to the environment and their reliance on biotic interactions is crucial for predicting the global… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-70668-0

Abstract: Macroecologists traditionally emphasized the role of environmental variables for predicting species distribution and abundance at large scale. While biotic factors have been increasingly recognized as important at macroecological scales, producing valuable biotic variables remains challenging… 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.
