Species’ niches are constrained by abiotic conditions like climate and land-use, and by biotic interactions like consumption, competition, and facilitation. However, abiotic and biotic conditions do not act in isolation. The interplay between them drives species distributions, abundances, population dynamics, community structure, evolutionary trajectories, and how biodiversity responds to environmental change. I’ll explore new methods, data, and conceptual approaches for measuring biotic and abiotic drivers of biodiversity patterns at local and global scales. I’ll draw on work done by several members of my research group, FABio – Fundamental and Applied Biogeography.
