Potential sources of time lags in calibrating species distribution models
Essl, Franz; García‐Rodríguez, Adrián; Lenzner, Bernd; Alexander, Jake M.; Capinha, César; Gaüzère, Pierre; Guisan, Antoine; Kühn, IngolfThe Anthropocene is characterized by a rapid pace of environmental change and is causing a multitude of biotic responses, including those that affect the spatial distribution of species. Lagged responses are frequent and species distributions and assemblages are consequently pushed into a disequilibrium state. How the characteristics of environmental change—for example, gradual ‘press’ disturbances such as risi...
Dimensions of invasiveness: Links between local abundance, geographic range siz...
Fristoe, Trevor S; Chytrý, Milan; Dawson, Wayne; Essl, Franz; Heleno, Ruben; Kreft, Holger; Maurel, Noëlie; Pergl, Jan; Pyšek, Petr; Seebens, HannoUnderstanding drivers of success for alien species can inform on potential future invasions. Recent conceptual advances highlight that species may achieve invasiveness via performance along at least three distinct dimensions: 1) local abundance, 2) geographic range size, and 3) habitat breadth in naturalized distributions. Associations among these dimensions and the factors that determine success in each have y...
