Predicting Plant Species Distribution Across an Alpine
5 Predictive models constitute an important tool in ecology. Using presence/absence data of 6 15 plant species of an alpine rangeland in northern Spain, and a set of 14 topographical and 7 geomorphological descriptors of relatively easy acquisition, we examined and compared the 8 performance of five state-of-the-art methods used in ecological modeling: Multiple Logistic 9 Regression (MLR), Arti...
متن کاملDistribution and diversity of exotic plant species in montane to alpine areas of Kosciuszko National Park
Diversity and distribution of exotic plant taxa in Kosciuszko National Park in south-eastern Australia were reviewed based on 1103 records of exotics from 18 vegetation surveys conducted between 1986 and 2004. 154 taxa from 23 families were recorded in the alpine to montane zones, with eleven taxa in the alpine, 128 taxa in the subalpine and 69 taxa in the montane zone. Nearly all taxa were ass...
متن کاملDistribution and population structure of the anther smut Microbotryum silenes-acaulis parasitizing an arctic-alpine plant.
Cold-adapted organisms with current arctic-alpine distributions have persisted during the last glaciation in multiple ice-free refugia, leaving footprints in their population structure that contrast with temperate plants and animals. However, pathogens that live within hosts having arctic-alpine distributions have been little studied. Here, we therefore investigated the geographical range and p...
متن کاملBuilding integrated models of plant growth and development.
Systems biology aims to decipher the structure and dynamics of signaling networks (Kitano, 2002). An important unanswered question at the heart of such approaches is: Can simple mathematical models adequately describe signal integration in complex processes? Ideally, such models exist in a cycle where they are used to generate new experimental hypotheses that, once tested, are used to refine th...
متن کاملFacilitative plant interactions and climate simultaneously drive alpine plant diversity.
Interactions among species determine local-scale diversity, but local interactions are thought to have minor effects at larger scales. However, quantitative comparisons of the importance of biotic interactions relative to other drivers are rarely made at larger scales. Using a data set spanning 78 sites and five continents, we assessed the relative importance of biotic interactions and climate ...
