Journal ArticleDOI
Global species–energy relationship in forest plots: role of abundance, temperature and species climatic tolerances
Irena Šímová,David Storch,David Storch,Petr Keil,Brad Boyle,Oliver L. Phillips,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. Enquist +8 more
TL;DR: Across the world’s forests there is no evidence to support the MIH, and a very limited evidence for a prominent role of productivity as a driver of species richness patterns, while the role of temperature is much more important, although this effect is more complex than originally assumed by the MTB.
Journal Article
A general model for mass-growth-density relations across tree-dominated communities
TL;DR: This model predicts numerous other scaling attributes of plant populations and communities, including annual growth rate GT, standing leaf biomass ML, basal stem diameter D, and above- and below-ground biomass, MSH and MR, consistent with the 'Law of Constant Yield'.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking environmental filtering and disequilibrium to biogeography with a community climate framework
Benjamin Blonder,Benjamin Blonder,David Nogués-Bravo,Michael K. Borregaard,John C. Donoghue,John C. Donoghue,Peter M. Jørgensen,Nathan J. B. Kraft,Jean-Philippe Lessard,Jean-Philippe Lessard,Naia Morueta-Holme,Brody Sandel,Jens-Christian Svenning,Cyrille Violle,Carsten Rahbek,Carsten Rahbek,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. Enquist +17 more
TL;DR: A majority of communities have species compositions that are strongly filtered and are more in equilibrium with current climate than random samples from the regional pool, and variation in the level of current community disequilibrium can be predicted from Last Glacial Maximum climate and will increase with near-future climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological traits influence the phylogenetic structure of bird species co-occurrences worldwide.
Jean-Yves Barnagaud,W. Daniel Kissling,Brody Sandel,Wolf L. Eiserhardt,Çağan H. Şekercioğlu,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. Enquist,Constantinos Tsirogiannis,Jens-Christian Svenning +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that co-occurrences of carnivorous, migratory and cold-climate species are phylogenetically clustered, whereas nectarivore, herbivores, frugivores and invertebrate eaters tend to be more phylogenetically overdispersed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive diversification of growth allometry in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana
François Vasseur,Moises Exposito-Alonso,Oscar Javier Ayala-Garay,George Wang,Brian J. Enquist,Denis Vile,Cyrille Violle,Detlef Weigel +7 more
TL;DR: Adaptation to climate in Arabidopsis thaliana is associated with local strains that substantially deviate from the values predicted by MST, suggesting that variation in allometry contributes to local adaptation to contrasting environments and helps reconcile past debates on the origin of allometric scaling in biology.
