      Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation ...
    • High-resolution habitat suitability model for Phlebotomus pedifer, the vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis in southwestern Ethiopia 

      Pareyn, Myrhte; Rutten, Anneleen; Merdekios, Behailu; Wedegärtner, Ronja Elisabeth Magdalene; Girma, Nigatu; Regelbrugge, Leo; Shibru, Simon; Leirs, Hedwig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background Phlebotomus pedifer is the vector for Leishmania aethiopica causing cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in southwestern Ethiopia. Previous research on the transmission dynamics of CL resulted in recommendations for ...
    • Hiking trails shift plant species' realized climatic niches and locally increase species richness 

      Wedegärtner, Ronja Elisabeth Magdalene; Lembrechts, Jonas J.; van der Wal, René; Barros, Agustina; Chauvin, Aurélie; Janssens, Ilias; Graae, Bente Jessen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Aim The presence and use of trails may change plant species' realized climatic niches via modified abiotic and biotic conditions including propagule transport, allowing competition-pressed alpine species to expand their ...
    • Moving out of town? The status of alien plants in high‐Arctic Svalbard, and a method for monitoring of alien flora in high‐risk, polar environments 

      Bartlett, Jesamine; Westergaard, Kristine Bakke; Paulsen, Ingrid M. G.; Wedegärtner, Ronja Elisabeth Magdalene; Wilken, Florian; Ravolainen, Virve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      1. Rising human activity in the Arctic, combined with a warming climate, mincreases the probability of introduction and establishment of alien plant species. While settlements are known hotspots for persistent populations, ...
    • SoilTemp: A global database of near-surface temperature 

      Lembrechts, Jonas J.; Smith, Stuart; Halbritter, Aud Helen; Graae, Bente Jessen; Sørensen, Mia Vedel; Speed, James David Mervyn; Wedegärtner, Ronja Elisabeth Magdalene (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated climate data represents long-term ...
