The role of biotic interactions in explaining distribution patterns of riverine organisms (A15)

Subject Area Hydrogeology, Hydrology, Limnology, Urban Water Management, Water Chemistry, Integrated Water Resources Management
Ecology and Biodiversity of Animals and Ecosystems, Organismic Interactions
Term since 2021
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 426547801
 
Species Distribution Models (SDMs) predict species occurrences in response to environmental conditions but often overlook biotic interactions and dispersal/accessibility across spatial scales. In A15, special emphasis will be placed on understanding how biotic interactions and stressor intensities influence the distribution patterns of diatoms, invertebrates, and fish using Joint Species Distribution Models (JSDMs). These models will also incorporate dispersal and connectivity information to enhance their accuracy.
