Annual Weedy Species of Erigeron in the Northern Iberian Peninsula: a Review
(Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2021)
A revision of the alien Erigeron species formerly included in Conyza found in the northern Iberian Peninsula is presented. A close examination of numerous specimens collected by the authors as well as voucher specimens ...
Climate and Human Pressure Constraints Co-Explain Regional Plant Invasion at Different Spatial Scales
(Public Library Science, 2016-10-14)
Alien species invasion represents a global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems. Explaining invasion patterns in terms of environmental constraints will help us to assess invasion risks and plan control strategies. We aim ...
Different Sets of Traits Explain Abundance and Distribution Patterns of European Plants at Different Spatial Scales
(Wiley, 2021-03-11)
Aim Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be predicted by ...
Environmental drivers and spatial scaling of species abundance distributions in Palaearctic grassland vegetation
(Wiley, 2022-08)
[EN] Species abundance distributions (SADs) link species richness with species abundances and are an important tool in the quantitative analysis of ecological communities. Niche-based and sample-based SAD models predict ...
A horizon scan exercise for aquatic invasive alien species in Iberian inland waters
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
As the number of introduced species keeps increasing unabatedly, identifying and prioritising current and potential Invasive Alien Species (IAS) has become essential to manage them. Horizon Scanning (HS), defined as an ...
Distribution maps of vegetation alliances in Europe
(Wiley, 2022-01)
Aim The first comprehensive checklist of European phytosociological alliances, orders and classes (EuroVegChecklist) was published by Mucina et al. (2016, Applied Vegetation Science, 19 (Suppl. 1), 3-264). However, this ...
Ellenberg-type indicator values for European vascular plant species
(Wiley, 2023-01)
Aims: Ellenberg-type indicator values are expert-based rankings of plant species according to their ecological optima on main environmental gradients. Here we extend the indicator-value system proposed by Heinz Ellenberg ...
Life-form diversity across temperate deciduous forests of Western Eurasia: A different story in the understory
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Aim To analyse the biogeographic patterns of Temperate Deciduous Forests (TDFs) in Western Eurasia based on different life-forms and forests layers and explore their relationships with the current climate, Last Glacial ...
Species–area relationships in continuous vegetation: Evidence from Palaearctic grasslands
(Wiley, 2020-01)
Aim Species-area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power laws best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes ...
Testing macroecological abundance patterns: The relationship between local abundance and range size, range position and climatic suitability among European vascular plants
(Wiley, 2020-10)
Aim A fundamental question in macroecology centres around understanding the relationship between species' local abundance and their distribution in geographical and climatic space (i.e. the multi-dimensional climatic space ...
