      Bektaş, Billur; Chisholm, Chelsea; Egelkraut, Dagmar Dorothea; Lynn, Joshua; Block, Sebastián; Deola, Thomas; Dommanget, Fanny; Enquist, Brian J.; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Haider, Sylvia; Halbritter, Aud Helen; He, Yongtao; Jaunatre, Renaud; Jentsch, Anke; Klanderud, Kari; Kardol, Paul; Lachmuth, Susanne; Loucougaray, Gregory; Münkemüller, Tamara; Niedrist, Georg; Nomoto, Hanna; Seltzer, Lorah; Töpper, Joachim Paul; Rew, Lisa J.; Seipel, Tim; Shah, Manzoor A.; Telford, Richard James; Walker, Tom W.N.; Wang, Shiping; Wardle, David A.; Wolff, Peter; Yang, Yan; Vandvik, Vigdis; Alexander, Jake M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Global warming is changing plant communities due to the arrival of new species from warmer regions and declining abundance of cold-adapted species. However, experimentally testing predictions about trajectories and rates ...
    • Distinguishing the roles of dispersal in diversity maintenance and in diversity limitation 

      Vandvik, Vigdis; Goldberg, Deborah E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005-07)
      In recent years, a considerable research effort has gone into studying how dispersal might affect the diversity of local communities. While this general topic has received attention from theoretical and empirical ecologists ...
    • Macroecological context predicts species' responses to climate warming 

      Lynn, Joshua Scott; Klanderud, Kari; Telford, Richard James; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Context-dependencies in species' responses to the same climate change frustrate attempts to generalize and make predictions based on experimental and observational approaches in biodiversity science. Here, we propose ...
    • The role of plant functional groups mediating climate impacts on carbon and biodiversity of alpine grasslands 

      Vandvik, Vigdis; Althuizen, Inge; Jaroszynska, Francesca; Krüger, Linn Cecilie; Lee, Hanna; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Klanderud, Kari; Olsen, Siri Lie; Telford, Richard James; Hjortland Östman, Silje Andrea; Busca, Sara; Dahle, Ingrid Johnsen; Egelkraut, Dagmar Dorothea; Geange, Sonya Rita; Gya, Ragnhild; Lynn, Joshua Scott; Meineri, Eric Pierre F; Young, Sherry; Halbritter Rechsteiner, Aud Helen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Plant removal experiments allow assessment of the role of biotic interactions among species or functional groups in community assembly and ecosystem functioning. When replicated along climate gradients, they can assess ...
    • Sources of Diversity in a Grassland Metacommunity: Quantifying the Contribution of Dispersal to Species Richness 

      Vandvik, Vigdis; Goldberg, Deborah E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006)
      Metacommunity theory suggests a potentially important role for dispersal in diversity maintenance at local, as well as regional, scales. In addition, propagule addition experiments have shown that dispersal often limits ...
    • Traits help explain species' performance away from their climate niche centre 

      Lynn, Joshua; Gya, Ragnhild; Klanderud, Kari; Telford, Richard James; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Aim: Climate change impacts on biota are variable across sites, among species and throughout individual species' ranges. Niche theory predicts that population performance should decline as site climate becomes increasingly ...
    • Vital rates in early life history underlie shifts in biotic interactions along bioclimatic gradients: An experimental test of the Stress Gradient Hypothesis 

      Klanderud, Kari; Meineri, Eric Pierre F; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Michel, Pascale; Berge, Astrid; Guittar, John L.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Question The Stress Gradient Hypothesis (SGH) predicts that competition and facilitation shift along stress gradients. We ask if the underlying mechanisms operate at specific points in plant life history, and if patterns ...
