Scientists, policy makers and journalists are three key, interconnected players involved in
prioritizing and implementing solutions to mitigate the consequences of anthropogenic …

Hutchinson defined species' realized niche as the set of environmental conditions in which
populations can persist in the presence of competitors. In terms of demography, the realized …

Aim Tree species may be vulnerable to migration lags because they are sessile, long‐lived,
have a small intrinsic growth rate and relatively short dispersal. Our study assesses if those …

Global climate change is already having an impact on species ranges. For species with
slow demography and limited dispersal, such as trees, lags between climate change and …

Ecological networks are increasingly studied at large spatial scales, expanding their focus
from a conceptual tool for community ecology into one that also addresses questions in …

Several temperate tree species are expected to migrate northward and colonize boreal
forests in response to climate change. Tree migrations could lead to transitions in forest types, …

Marine ecological indicators can be used to assess the condition of the pelagic ecosystems.
The bloom onset provides a warning bell for possible changes in trophic interactions and …

Many studies of individual sites have revealed biotic changes consistent with climate
warming (eg, upward elevational distribution shifts), but our understanding of the tremendous …

The St. Lawrence is a vast and complex socio-ecological system providing a wealth of services
that sustain numerous economic sectors. This ecosystem is subject to significant human …

Communities consist of species and their interactions. They can thus be described as
networks, with species as nodes and interactions as links. Within such networks, the diversity of …
