摘要定量评估不同变量对群落组成的贡献是群落生态学分析的热点问题.
但在具体的分析情景中, 因子间的共线性与解释率的重叠对评估不同因子重要性造成了较大困难 …

Quantitative estimation of the contribution of predictary variables to community composition
is a hotspot in community ecology. However, multicollinearity and joint contributions among …

Habitat is known to influence community structure yet, because these effects are complex,
elucidating these relationships has proven difficult. Multiple aspects of vegetation …

Statistical testing of trait-environment association from data is a challenge as there is no
common unit of observation: the trait is observed on species, the environment on sites and …

Redundancy analysis is widely used to correlate species matrix against environmental
descriptors. This analysis assumes that the response variables have the same continuous …

In ecological research it is often necessary to assess the impact of environmental variables
on species occurrences. In multispecies communities this impact might differ from species to …

Establishing relationships between species distributions and environmental characteristics
is a major goal in the search for forces driving species distributions. Canonical ordinations …

Community ecologists and macroecologists have long sought to evaluate the importance of
environmental conditions in determining species distributions, community composition, and …

Of the several approaches that are used to analyse functional trait–environment
relationships, the most popular is community‐weighted mean regressions (CWMr) in which …

Biodiversity research is often impeded by the time and resources required to identify
species. One possible solution is to use higher taxa to predict species richness and …
