DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16085
Abstract: Abstract Premise Numerous processes influence plant distributions and co‐occurrence patterns, including ecological sorting, limiting similarity, and stochastic effects. To discriminate among these processes and determine the spatial scales at which they operate, we investigated how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2955
Abstract: Abstract Natural ecosystems provide humans with different types of ecosystem services, often linked to biodiversity. The dilution effect (DE) predicts a negative relationship between biodiversity and risk of infectious diseases of humans, other animals, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3058
Abstract: Many studies have tried to assess the role of both deterministic and stochastic processes in community assembly, yet a lack of consensus exists on which processes are more prevalent and at which spatial scales they… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3774
Abstract: Despite the importance of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships in ecology and conservation, relatively little is known about how BEF relationships change across spatial scales. Theory predicts that change in BEF relationships with increasing spatial scale… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3840
Abstract: Global changes can lead to species declines and extinctions through their impacts on species habitats at two distinct spatial scales: habitat destruction, in which individual habitat patches are destroyed by land-use change or natural disasters,… read more here.

Benthic communities and their drivers: A spatial analysis off the Antarctic Peninsula
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Limnology and Oceanography"
DOI: 10.1002/lno.11187
Abstract: Multiple environmental factors control benthic community patterns, and their relative importance varies with spatial scale. Since this variation is difficult to evaluate quantitatively, extensive sampling across a broad range of spatial scales is required. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4116-4
Abstract: Organismal phenotypes often co-vary with environmental variables across broad geographic ranges. Less is known about the extent to which phenotypes match local conditions when multiple biotic and abiotic stressors vary at fine spatial scales. Bittercress… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-018-1224-8
Abstract: Fire is a major disturbance event that affects biomes worldwide, altering vegetation structure and flora and fauna assemblages. Here, we investigated the effects of an extensive wildfire (~ 6240 ha) on small mammal assemblages in savanna woodland… read more here.
