elevational gradients
Spatial gradients in elevation that capture variation in temperature, soil age and type, disturbance regimes, and land-use histories providing important insights into how organisms, communities, and e...
pollinator visual space
Mathematical models that represent how different pollinators perceive color based on their photoreceptor sensitivities and opponent color processing
host-microbiome interactions
The relationship between a host organism and its associated microbial community, including costs and benefits to host fitness
maximum entropy inference
Statistical inference procedure that selects flattest probability distributions compatible with constraints imposed by prior knowledge
plant functional groups
Classification of species with similar characteristics into plant functional groups or plant functional types to reduce complexity in ecological communities
microbial biogeography
The study of spatial distribution patterns of microorganisms and the factors controlling these patterns
