The identification of geographical patterns in microbial distributions has begun to challenge purely ecological explanations of biogeography and the underlying principle of “everything is ...

A number of neutral models (such as the theory of island biogeography) do not consider the specific ecological interactions of members of a community. In other words, a neutral theory of ...

The concept of ecological niche is central to ecological biogeography, which focuses on spatial patterns of ecological communities. "Species distributions and their dynamics over time result from ...

Jesse Bellemare’s research focuses on questions in plant ecology, biogeography and evolution at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. In particular, he is interested in how historical processes, ...

Our lab works toward elucidating the ecological and evolutionary drivers of biological diversity on Earth. We borrow concepts and tools from community ecology and biogeography to try and gain a ...

I am a physical geographer working at the interface of biogeography, functional ecology, global change biology and ecological restoration. My research is focused on high elevation landscapes where ...

While his professional career revolved around his research on peatland ecology, biogeography, plant community classification and ecology, his teaching focused on broader plant ecological issues.
