Towards novel approaches to modelling biotic interactions in multispecies assemblages at large spatial extents (2012, background): “…groups of species that exploit the same class of environmental resources (e.g. food or suitable habitat) in a similar way (Simberloff & Dayan, 1991), e.g. for modelling environmental responses of bird species with similar dietary preferences across large spatial extents (Kissling et al., 2011).”
Local forest structure, climate and human disturbance determine regional distribution of boreal bird species richness in Alberta, Canada (2013, background): “To improve our understanding of species richness patterns it is important to quantify whether, and to what extent, determinants vary with specific traits or natural history characteristics of species (Carnicer & D ıaz-Delgado, 2008; Kissling et al., 2012).”
Food resources and vegetation structure mediate climatic effects on species richness of birds (2014, background): “In a global analysis of species richness within different avian feeding guilds, habitat heterogeneity (measured as the number of vegetation classes per area) was closely correlated with species richness of all birds and insectivores, but not with that of frugivores (Kissling et al., 2012).”
Macroecological trends in nestedness and modularity of seed-dispersal networks: human impact matters (2015, background): “Many frugivorous birds are able to forage on the fruits of several plant species (Kissling et al., 2012), while pollinators often have more specialized morphology and behaviour (Stang et al.”
Global patterns and predictors of bird species responses to forest fragmentation: Implications for ecosystem function and conservation (2014, background): “Thus, they are likely to reflect underlying gradients in guild structure caused by latitudinal differences in climate and resource availability (e.g. year-round availability of fruits and flowers in the tropics) (Belmaker et al., 2011; Kissling et al., 2012; Tobias et al., 2013).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “The analysis of multispecies ecological networks in a spatially explicit setting is still in its infancy (Dale and Fortin, 2010; Kissling et al., 2012a), although other types of networks have been investigated in spatial and landscape ecology (Dale and Fortin, 2010).”
The diversity, distribution and conservation status of the tree‐cavity‐nesting birds of the world (2017, background): “We show, like Pimm et al. (2014) and Kissling, Şekercioğlu, and Jetz (2012), that species richness mapping can be extended beyond the mapping of mere taxonomic groups (e.g., mapping of global richness of Picidae by Winkler and Gusenleitner (2015)).”
