Research on the thermal ecology and physiology of free‐living organisms is accelerating as
scientists and managers recognize the urgency of the global biodiversity crisis brought on by …

There is a rich amount of information in co‐occurrence (presence–absence) data that could
be used to understand community assembly. This proposition first envisioned by Forbes …

Macroclimatic changes are impacting ecosystems worldwide. However, a large portion of
terrestrial species live under conditions where impacts of macroclimate change are buffered …

Joint species distribution modelling (JSDM) is a fast-developing field and promises to
revolutionise how data on ecological communities are analysed and interpreted. Written for …

Montane species worldwide are shifting upslope in response to recent temperature
increases. These upslope shifts are predicted to lead to mountaintop extinctions of species …

Community ecology aims to understand what factors determine the assembly and dynamics
of species assemblages at different spatiotemporal scales. To facilitate the integration …

The aim of the ecospat package is to make available novel tools and methods to support
spatial analyses and modeling of species niches and distributions in a coherent workflow …

The increasing use of species distribution modeling (SDM) has raised new concerns
regarding the inaccuracies, misunderstanding, and misuses of this important tool. One of …

A large array of species distribution model (SDM) approaches has been developed for
explaining and predicting the occurrences of individual species or species assemblages …
