Functional traits explain the Hutchinsonian niches of plant species

[Access the paper here](https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13048) Aim: The Hutchinsonian niche is a foundational concept in ecology and evolutionary biology that describes fundamental characteristics of any species: the global maximum population growth rate …

Mismatches between demographic niches and geographic distributions are strongest in poorly dispersed and highly persistent plant species

[Access the paper here.](https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1908684117) Forecasts of global change impacts on biodiversity often assume that the current geographical distributions of species match their ecological niches. Here we examine this assumption …
