Competition contributes to both warm and cool range edges
S Lyu, JM Alexander - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
Competition plays an important role in shaping species' spatial distributions. However, it
remains unclear where and how competition regulates species' range limits. In a field …

Range Size and Niche Breadth as Predictors of Climate-Induced Habitat Change in Epipactis (Orchidaceae)
A Evans, H Jacquemyn - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 - frontiersin.org
While there is mounting evidence that ongoing changes in the climate system are shifting
species ranges poleward and to higher altitudes, responses to climate change vary …

Climate warming threatens the persistence of a community of disturbance‐adapted native annual plants
With ongoing climate change, populations are expected to exhibit shifts in demographic
performance that will alter where a species can persist. This presents unique challenges for …
