DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3124
Abstract: Hypotheses about the mechanisms of community assembly suggest that biotic and abiotic filters constrain species establishment through selection on their functional traits. It is unclear how differences in traits influence the niche dimensions of closely-related… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-05053-z
Abstract: Interdependencies in social groups of animals are a combination of multiple pairwise interactions. Heterospecific groups are often characterized by important species that contribute more to group initiation, maintenance or function than other species. However, in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-020-01274-8
Abstract: Climate change is increasingly favouring the occurrence of extreme weather events, affecting species distribution and tree growth. It has been proposed that mixed forests are more resistant to drought spells and heat waves than corresponding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10640-021-00559-9
Abstract: We extend the study of economically optimal carbon storage to a previously unexplored forest type, mixed-species size-structured stands. The ecological model applied in the study is a transition matrix model with growth functions for boreal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2019.09.002
Abstract: Affiliative interspecies interactions are important to community structure within an ecosystem yet understudied relative to antagonistic relationships. Mixed-species associations provide important benefits via foraging, predator avoidance and social interactions. Tactile behaviours help with social bond… read more here.

The conservation implications of mixed-species flocking in terrestrial birds, a globally-distributed species interaction network
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.06.004
Abstract: Abstract Conservation biologists now view species interaction networks as systems that should be targets of conservation, but there are few actual cases in which networks have formed the basis for management strategies. Terrestrial mixed-species bird… read more here.

Mixing effects on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) productivity along a climatic gradient across Europe

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118834
Abstract: Abstract Mixed-species stands have been found to be more productive than would be expected from the performance of their component species in monocultures due to facilitation and complementarity between species, although these interactions depend on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2017.12.010
Abstract: Abstract Rising sea level is reducing the inter-tidal zone in many mangrove forests. This breaks down the normal species distribution patterns of fiddler crabs, with an increasing number of heterospecifics moving from adjacent zones into… read more here.
