Response diversity in the context of multifarious environmental change

This paper introduces a method to quantify response diversity in multifarious environmental change scenarios, showing how it depends on species response diversity, environmental variable effects, correlations, and temporal values.

Habitat specificity is not universal proxy for sensitivity to habitat conversion among rodents on the Canadian Prairies

The paper tests if habitat specificity reliably predicts sensitivity to habitat conversion in Prairie rodents, finding complex responses that contradict the assumption of a universal proxy.

Established rodent community delays recovery of dominant competitor following experimental disturbance

The paper shows that an established rodent community delays the recovery of a dominant competitor after disturbance, suggesting resource preemption as the mechanism.

Modelling palaeoecological time series using generalized additive models

This paper introduces generalized additive models (GAMs) for analyzing irregularly spaced palaeoenvironmental time series, providing a more robust method for estimating trends and accounting for model uncertainty.
