Species Interactions Weakly Modify Climate-Induced Tree Co-Occurrence Patterns, Paige E. Copenhaver-Parry, David M. Bell
Species Interactions Weakly Modify Climate-Induced Tree Co-Occurrence Patterns, Paige E. Copenhaver-Parry, David M. Bell
Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science
Aims: Species distributions are hypothesized to be underlain by a complex association of processes that span multiple spatial scales including biotic interactions, dispersal limitation, fine-scale resource gradients and climate. Species disequilibrium with climate may reflect the effects of non-climatic processes on species distributions, yet distribution models have rarely directly considered non-climatic processes. Here, we use a Joint Species Distribution Model (JSDM) to investigate the influence of non-climatic factors on species co-occurrence patterns and to directly quantify the relative influences of climate and alternative processes that may generate correlated responses in species distributions, such as species interactions, on tree co-occurrence patterns. …
