Unveiling Urban Complexity: Integrating OpenStreetMap to enhance representation of fine-scale landscape heterogeneity

This paper enhances global landcover maps by integrating OpenStreetMap data to better represent urban landscape heterogeneity, achieving 89% accuracy in 33 North American cities.

Reconceptualizing beta diversity: a hypervolume geometric approach

This paper introduces a geometric hypervolume approach to measure beta diversity, accounting for non-additivity and species interactions, and applies it to address ecological questions.

Conservation networks do not match the ecological requirements of amphibians

The paper compares amphibian ecological requirements with conservation network coverage in western France, finding mismatches and identifying critical bottlenecks in farmland areas.

Rapid monitoring for ecological persistence

The paper shows that persistence of small ecological subnetworks can reliably predict the persistence of entire ecological networks, aiding conservation efforts.

Dynamic larval dispersal can mediate the response of marine metapopulations to multiple climate change impacts

The paper models how climate change impacts marine metapopulations by altering ocean currents and larval duration, showing complex interactions affecting stability.

Networks of marine protected areas under fluctuating connectivity: the importance of within-MPA dynamics

This study evaluates how within and between marine protected area (MPA) connectivity dynamics affect MPA network effectiveness under varying dispersal conditions.

Modelling the spatial-temporal distributions and associated determining factors of a keystone pelagic fish

The paper models the spatial-temporal distribution of capelin using Maxent, showing seasonal variations in occurrence probabilities and variable importance of oceanographic factors.

Revealing biases in the sampling of ecological interaction networks

This paper develops EcoNetGen to study sampling biases in ecological interaction networks and finds that sampling by species degree is most accurate for estimating network structure.

Analyzing ecological networks of species interactions

This paper reviews methods for analyzing ecological networks and suggests best practices for their application in community ecology.

Integrating Over Uncertainty In Spatial Scale Of Response Within Multispecies Occupancy Models Yields More Accurate Assessments Of Community Composition

The paper introduces a Bayesian framework to integrate uncertainty in spatial scale of species response into multispecies occupancy models, improving accuracy in community composition assessments.
