Testing species assemblage predictions from stacked and joint species distribution models (2019, background): “JSDMs simultaneously estimate the species-environment relationship of multiple species and the residual correlation between those species that could be indicative of biotic interactions (Zurell et al., 2018), but also missing environmental information and other ecological processes.”
Dos and don'ts when inferring assembly rules from diversity patterns (2020, background): “To gain a better understanding of the ecological meaning of these residual covariance matrices, one could test them using simulated data (Zurell et al., 2018) or one could link empirically estimated covariance matrices to trait and/or phylogenetic diversity patterns, assuming that a strong…”
