Successions are a central issue of ecological theory. They are governed by changes in
community assembly processes that can be tracked by species’ traits. While single‐trait‐based …

Ecophylogenetics can be viewed as an emerging fusion of ecology, biogeography and
macroevolution. This new and fast‐growing field is promoting the incorporation of evolution and …

Rarity has been a central topic for conservation and evolutionary biologists aiming to determine
the species characteristics that cause extinction risk. More recently, beyond the rarity of …

Aim We addressed the roles of environmental filtering, historical biogeography and evolutionary
niche conservatism on the phylogenetic structure of tropical tree communities with the …

Species distribution models (SDM) are widely used for ecological research and conservation
purposes. Given a set of species occurrence, the aim is to infer its spatial distribution over a …

Species spatial distributions are the result of population demography, behavioral traits, and
species interactions in spatially heterogeneous environmental conditions. Hence the …

We introduce the R package ecolottery dedicated to quick and efficient simulation of
communities undergoing local neutral dynamics with environmentally filtered immigration from a …

Characterizing the architecture of bipartite networks is increasingly used as a framework to
study biotic interactions within their ecological context and to assess the extent to which …

Amborella trichopoda Baill. (Amborellaceae, Amborellales), the sole living member of the
sister group to all other extant angiosperms, is endemic to New Caledonia. We addressed the …

Trait‐based ecology aims to understand the processes that generate the overarching
diversity of organismal traits and their influence on ecosystem functioning. Achieving this goal …
