Land abandonment in European mountains threatens habitats shaped for centuries by low-
intensity agriculture and grazing. Hence, it is important to identify spatiotemporal patterns in …

The CLUE-S model is a popular choice for modelling land use and land cover change from
local to regional scales, but it spatially allocates the demand for only the total cover of each …

Land use and cover (LUC) of southern European mountains is dramatically changing,
mainly due to observed socioeconomic demands and climatic changes. It is therefore …

Understanding the mechanisms of community assembly is of great importance to
biogeography and ecology. Simultaneous investigation of the functional and phylogenetic …

Understanding the ecological processes and the mechanisms of community assembly
during secondary succession of vegetation has been a central topic of ecological research …

Functional databases, that aim the aggregation and homogenization of functional trait data,
constitute fundamental tools of ecological research, that increase data accessibility at global …

Individual‐level traits mediate interaction outcomes and community structure. It is important,
therefore, to identify the minimum number of traits that characterise ecological networks, that …

Filamentous fungi contribute to ecosystem and human-induced processes such as primary
production, bioremediation, biogeochemical cycling and biocontrol. Predicting the dynamics …

Trait-based approaches in direct intraspecific and interspecific interactions address
proximate and evolutionary questions across biological systems. However, interest in …

One of the proposed selective forces for the evolution of dispersal, the opposition between
temporal and spatial variation, seems to accumulate considerable empirical and theoretical …
