The use of functional diversity analyses in ecology has grown exponentially over the past
two decades, broadening our understanding of biological diversity and its change across …

The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

Hutchinson's n‐dimensional hypervolume concept for the interpretation of niches as
geometric shapes has provided a foundation for research across different fields of ecology …

Hutchinson's n‐dimensional hypervolume concept underlies many applications in
contemporary ecology and evolutionary biology. Estimating hypervolumes from sampled …

Floral chemistry mediates plant interactions with pollinators, pathogens, and herbivores, with
major consequences for fitness of both plants and flower visitors. The outcome of such …

The use of n‐dimensional hypervolumes in trait‐based ecology is rapidly increasing. By
representing the functional space of a species or community as a Hutchinsonian niche, the …

Characterising changes in functional diversity at large spatial scales provides insight into the
impact of human activity on ecosystem structure and function. However, the approach is …

Animals exhibit a diverse behavioural repertoire when exploring new environments and can
learn which actions or action sequences produce positive outcomes. Dopamine release …

Invasive alien species (IAS) poses a significant threat to plant biodiversity globally and even
considered one of the largest threats to biodiversity, second to habitat loss. They behave as …

Global biodiversity is under accelerating threats, and species are succumbing to extinction
before being described. Madagascar's biota represents an extreme example of this …
