Abstract: Investigating the factors that determine whether interactions are competitive or facilitative is essential to understanding community structure and trait evolution. Co-flowering plants interact indirectly through shared pollinators, and meta-analyses suggest that phylogenetic relatedness and floral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2020.109108
Abstract: ABSTRACT The abundance or yield of a species is an ecological quantity of paramount importance when making management and conservation decisions. The linear generalized Lotka–Volterra equations (LGLVE) constitute the simplest theoretical framework for predicting such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.12825
Abstract: Biotic interactions can influence the ranges and abundances of species, but no clear guidelines exist for integrating them into correlative models of niches and distributions. Niche/distributional models characterize environmental/habitat suitability or species presence using predictor… read more here.

Abstract: A radio-acoustic positioning system was used to assess the effects of shark cage-diving operators (SCDO) on the fine-scale movements of a non-focal species, the smooth stingray Bathytoshia brevicaudata. The results revealed that the time spent… read more here.
