Climate change and plant distribution: local models predict high-elevation persistence
Christophe F. Randin,Robin Engler,Signe Normand,Massimiliano Zappa,Niklaus E. Zimmermann,Peter B. Pearman,Pascal Vittoz,Wilfried Thuiller,Antoine Guisan +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess whether climate change-induced habitat losses predicted at the European scale (10 × 10′ grid cells) are also predicted from local-scale data and modeling (25 m × 25 m grid cells), in two regions of the Swiss Alps.
Biotic and abiotic variables show little redundancy in explaining tree species distributions
Eliane S. Meier,Felix Kienast,Peter B. Pearman,Jens-Christian Svenning,Wilfried Thuiller,Miguel B. Araújo,Antoine Guisan,Niklaus E. Zimmermann +7 more
TL;DR: The influence of biotic variables on SDM performance indicates that community composition and other local biotic factors or abiotic processes not included in the abiotic predictors strongly influence prediction of species distributions.
Hierarchical species distribution models in support of vegetation conservation at the landscape scale
Rubén G. Mateo,Rubén G. Mateo,Aitor Gastón,María José Aroca-Fernández,Olivier Broennimann,Antoine Guisan,Santiago Saura,Juan I. García-Viñas +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used hierarchical species distribution models (SDMs) combining information from different scales to ensure consistent local vegetation management decisions, and compared the predictions of both regional and landscape models at the landscape scale following two different hierarchical approaches.
Community‐level plant palatability increases with elevation as insect herbivore abundance declines
Patrice Descombes,Patrice Descombes,Jérémy Marchon,Jean-Nicolas Pradervand,Julia Bilat,Antoine Guisan,Sergio Rasmann,Loïc Pellissier +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that plant communities at higher elevation are composed of species that are generally more palatable for insect herbivores, and shift in plant palatability with elevation may be the outcome of a relaxation of the in situ herbivore pressure and changes in abiotic conditions.
Landscape structure is a key driver of protist diversity along elevation gradients in the Swiss Alps
Christophe V. W. Seppey,Enrique Lara,Olivier Broennimann,Antoine Guisan,Lucie A Malard,David Singer,Erika Yashiro,Bertrand Fournier +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of landscape structure on soil protist alpha and beta diversity in meadows in the western Swiss Alps was assessed. And the importance of landscape structures was comparable to that of environmental conditions and spatial variables, and increased with the size of the neighbourhood window considered.
