Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be a major cause of species extinctions in the
next 100 years. But what will actually cause these extinctions? For example, will it be limited …

Estimates of species richness and diversity are central to community and macroecology and
are frequently used in conservation planning. Commonly used diversity metrics account for …

High exposure to warming from climate change is expected to threaten biodiversity by
pushing many species toward extinction. Such exposure is often assessed for all taxa at a …

Environmental DNA sampling (eDNA) has emerged as a powerful tool for detecting aquatic
animals. Previous research suggests that eDNA methods are substantially more sensitive …

Human-driven declines of apex predators can trigger widespread impacts throughout
ecological communities. Reduced apex predator occupancy or activity can release …

Aim To develop a new probabilistic model that can be used to test for statistically significant
pair‐wise patterns of species co‐occurrence. The model gives the probability that two …

Species occurrence is influenced by environmental conditions and the presence of other
species. Current approaches for multispecies occupancy modelling are practically limited to …

Biotic interactions can influence the ranges and abundances of species, but no clear
guidelines exist for integrating them into correlative models of niches and distributions …

Estimates of species' vital rates and an understanding of the factors affecting those
parameters over time and space can provide crucial information for management and …

Interspecific interactions can provoke temporal and spatial avoidance, ultimately affecting
population densities and spatial distribution patterns. The ability (or inability) of species to …
