Given the rate of projected environmental change for the 21st century, urgent adaptation and
mitigation measures are required to slow down the on-going erosion of biodiversity. Even …

Growing recognition of the importance of long-distance dispersal (LDD) of plant seeds for
various ecological and evolutionary processes has led to an upsurge of research into the …

Range dynamics causes mismatches between a species’ geographical distribution and the
set of suitable environments in which population growth is positive (the Hutchinsonian niche)…

Trait-based studies have become extremely common in plant ecology. Trait-based approaches
often rely on the tacit assumption that intraspecific trait variability (ITV) is negligible …

Aim Biotic interactions – within guilds or across trophic levels – have widely been ignored in
species distribution models (SDMs). This synthesis outlines the development of ‘species …

In a rapidly changing world, ecology has the potential to move from empirical and
conceptual stages to application and management issues. It is now possible to make large‐scale …

… Long-distance dispersal of a fraction f LDD of dispersal units is described by an exponential
kernel f(r… Frank Schurr is interested in developing a mechanistic understanding of how range …

Ongoing and predicted global change makes understanding and predicting species' range
shifts an urgent scientific priority. Here, we provide a synthetic perspective on the so far …

… Nonetheless, we believe that almost all migration models can be reduced to the special case
where the migration rate is defined by the aggregate parameters f(x), R 0 , T or merely by f(x…
