Abstract: Abstract Ecosystem engineering by burrowers is one of the most important determinants of spatio-temporal community patterns in marine soft-sediments. Current understanding of broad mechanisms by which this occurs is based on research on free-living assemblages,… read more here.

Abstract: Coral reefs are degrading globally leading to a catastrophic loss of biodiversity. While shifts in the species composition of communities have been well documented associated with habitat change, the mechanisms that underlie change are often… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-97318-z
Abstract: Climate change is redistributing biodiversity globally and distributional shifts have been found to follow local climate velocities. It is largely assumed that marine endotherms such as cetaceans might shift more slowly than ectotherms in response… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.0504
Abstract: The assumption that differences in species' traits reflect their different niches has long influenced how ecologists infer processes from assemblage patterns. For instance, many assess the importance of environmental filtering versus classical limiting-similarity competition in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13738
Abstract: Most studies of diversity changes along elevational gradients show a synchronous change in taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity, such that all decline with elevation or show a mid‐elevation peak. However, some studies show asynchronous changes,… read more here.

Abstract: Variation in the intensity of plant-animal interactions over different spatial scales is widespread and might strongly influence fitness and trait selection in plants. Differences in traits among p ... read more here.
