Distributions of Amazonian plants are poorly known. Here, we analyze to what degree current Amazon-wide species distribution patterns reflect general aspects of the species’ environmental niches, and ...

Abstract. With the spread of contaminants across the globe, ecosystems are increasingly exposed to pollutants at varying levels of biological organization.

ABSTRACT Soil, topography, and climate have been identified as strong drivers of functional...

Analyzing plant dispersion data from across the globe, researchers at the University of Arizona found that the most abundant species have adapted to tolerate a wide range of climates. Their findings c...

Nature Reviews Biodiversity - The terrestrial ecosystems of Southeast Asia are both globally important reservoirs of biodiversity, and a provider of resources and livelihoods for millions of people...

Decision-makers need to act now to halt biodiversity loss, and ecologists must provide them with relevant species interaction indicators to inform abo…

Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates....

The Amazon basin hosts the most biodiverse and intact ecosystems on Earth, yet human activities are an increasing threat. Metal contamination due to mining constitutes one of these major threats, but ...
