Models describing the biotic drivers that create and maintain biological diversity within
trophic levels have focused primarily on negative interactions (ie competition), leaving …

Extreme and remote environments provide useful settings to test ideas about the ecological
and evolutionary drivers of biological diversity. In the sub‐A ntarctic, isolation by geographic …

What are the long-term consequences of invasive species? After invasion, how long do
ecosystems require to reach a new equilibrium? Answering these questions requires long …

Sensitivity analysis, the study of how ecological variables of interest respond to changes in
external conditions, is a theoretically well‐developed and widely applied approach in …

Despite a large consensus on increasing facilitation among plants with increasing stress in
alpine regions, a number of different outcomes of interaction have been observed, which …

Theoretical and empirical ecology has transitioned from a focus on the role of negative
interactions in species coexistence to a more pluralistic view that acknowledges that …

We propose here to interpret and model peculiar plant morphologies (cushions and
tussocks) observed in the Andean Altiplano as localized structures. Such structures resulting …

Plant life relies on complex arrays of environmental stress sensing and signalling
mechanisms. Extremophile plants develop and grow in harsh environments with extremes of …

The distribution of genetic variation in species is governed by factors that act differently
across spatial scales. To tease apart the contribution of different processes, especially at …

Climatic conditions and landscape features often strongly affect species' local distribution
patterns, dispersal, reproduction and survival and may therefore have considerable impacts …
