Metacommunity phylogenetics aims at evaluating environmental and/or historical factors
driving clade distribution. Phylogenetic fuzzy weighting (PFW) describes clade distribution …

Traditionally metacommunity studies have quantified the relative importance of dispersal
and environmental processes on observed β‐diversity. Separating β‐diversity into its …

The statistical estimation of phylogenies is always associated with uncertainty, and
accommodating this uncertainty is an important component of modern phylogenetic …

Tropical coastal lagoons are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth due to
multiple factors. The loss and degradation of coastal lagoons can adversely affect …

The degradation of the Campos Sulinos, which are part of the Pampa and Atlantic Forest
biomes in Brazil, has been extensively discussed in the scientific community and society as …

Community assembly processes is the primary focus of community ecology. Using
phylogenetic‐based and functional trait‐based methods jointly to explore these processes …

Abstract The Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is one of the areas with the most serious soil
erosion worldwide. Vegetation restoration is the main way to control soil erosion and combat …

Understanding biological community distribution patterns and their drivers across different
scales is one of the major goals of community ecology in a rapidly changing world …

PCPS is an R package for exploring phylogenetic eigenvectors across metacommunities. It
offers a set of functions for analyzing principal coordinates of phylogenetic structure (PCPS) …

Integrating multiple facets of biodiversity to describe spatial and temporal distribution
patterns is one way of revealing the mechanisms driving community assembly. We assessed …
