Abstract Individual variation in behavior, particularly consistent among-individual differences (i.e., personality), has important ecological and evolutionary implications for population community dynamics, trait divergence, patterns of speciation. Nevertheless, individual spatial behaviors, such as home range movement characteristics, or habitat use yet to be incorporated into the concepts methodologies ecology biology. To evaluate evidence existence behavior – which we refer “spatial...
Individual variation is increasingly recognized as a central component of ecological processes, but its role in structuring environmental niche associations remains largely unknown. Species' responses to conditions are ultimately determined by the niches single individuals, yet typically captured only at level species. Here, we develop scenarios for how individual may combine define compound populations, use extensive movement data document variation, test associated hypotheses...
<title>Abstract</title> 2023 was the hottest year in recorded history at time of its recording<sup>1</sup> and warmer than any past 125,000 years<sup>2</sup>. Although effects this unprecedented on human health, agriculture, economies have been documented<sup>3</sup>, we know much less about global biodiversity, especially poorly monitored regions. Here, demonstrate a rapid climate bioassessment pipeline to pinpoint when where species recently exposed extreme weather. Applying approach >...
1. Species distribution models (SDMs) are used for understanding where species live or could potentially and a key resource ecological research conservation decision-making. However, current SDM methods often perform poorly rare inadequately sampled species, which includes most on earth as well of those the greatest concern. 2. Here, we evaluate performance three recently developed modeling approaches specifically designed data-deficient situations: 1) plug-and-play modeling, 2)...
Movement is a key means by which animals cope with variable environments. As they move, construct individual niches composed of the environmental conditions experience. Niche axes may vary over time and covary one another as make tradeoffs between competing needs. Seasonal migration expected to produce substantial niche variation move keep pace major life history phases fluctuations in conditions. Here, we apply time-ordered principal component analysis examine dynamic variance covariance...
Deadwood is a major component of aboveground biomass (AGB) in tropical forests and important as habitat for nutrient cycling carbon storage. With deforestation degradation taking place throughout the tropics, improved understanding magnitude spatial variation deadwood vital development regional global budgets. However, this potentially pool poorly quantified Afrotropical drivers stocks are unknown. In first large-scale study Central Africa, we 47 forest sites across Gabon evaluated effects...
