This proposal aims to develop a framework for statistical modelling that integrates across spatial scales and disentangles the processes of environmental tolerance, biotic interactions and dispersal. Understanding the processes that drive species distributions and ecological communities is central to ecology and environmental management. This knowledge can be used to anticipate the impacts of environmental change on ecosystems, and the likely benefits of interventions. Current statistical models limit the data that can be used and the ecological questions that can be answered. This project expects to improve our ability to predict species distributions under changed environments given interacting species and dispersal across the landscape.

该提案旨在开发一个统计建模框架，该框架集成了跨空间尺度，并理清了环境耐受性、生物相互作用和扩散的过程。了解驱动物种分布和生态群落的过程是生态和环境管理的核心。这些知识可用于预测环境变化对生态系统的影响，以及干预措施可能带来的好处。目前的统计模型限制了可以使用的数据和可以回答的生态问题。该项目旨在提高我们在变化的环境下预测物种分布的能力，考虑到物种的相互作用和在景观中的分散。
