The use of functional information in the form of species traits plays an important role in explaining biodiversity patterns and responses to environmental changes. Although relationships between species composition, their traits, and the environment have been extensively studied on a case-by-case basis, results are variable, and it remains unclear how generalizable these relationships are across ecosystems, tax...

Many studies have focused on the impacts of climate change on biological assemblages, yet little is known about howclimate interacts with other major anthropogenic influences on biodiversity, such as habitat disturbance. Using a unique global database of 1128 local ant assemblages, we examined whether climate mediates the effects of habitat disturbance on assemblage structure at a global scale. Species richness...
Quais forças estruturam as assembleias ecológicas? Uma limitação importante para insights gerais sobre estrutura de assemblage é a disponibilidade de dados que são coletados em um pequeno espaço grãos (assembléias locais) e uma grande extensão espacial (cobertura global). Aqui, apresentamos publicado e dados não publicados de 51, 388 registros de abundância e ocorrência de formigas de mais de 2.693 espécies e 7...
