多层网络提供了一种克服这一限制的解决方案,它使相互连接的网络具有空间明确的层内和层间链接,从而可以识别物种作为空间生态系统耦合器的作用(Kivela等人,2014;pilot等人,2017;Timóteo et al., 2018)。在这里,我们为特内里费岛上的五个垂直植被带编制了一个种子传播网络,并探索了动物和植物如何在气候变化的影响下在上坡栖息地定居。具体来说,我们要问(1)哪些种子传播者可以促进上坡植物的定植?(2)目前是否有任何证据表明植物正在扩散到它们目前的分布范围之外?(3)种子传播网络结构是否随海拔高低而变化?(4)未来气候变暖对植物群落组成的影响,即肉质果类植物和种子传播者能否到达上层植被带?
期刊介绍:
New Phytologist is an international electronic journal published 24 times a year. It is owned by the New Phytologist Foundation, a non-profit-making charitable organization dedicated to promoting plant science. The journal publishes excellent, novel, rigorous, and timely research and scholarship in plant science and its applications. The articles cover topics in five sections: Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology. These sections encompass intracellular processes, global environmental change, and encourage cross-disciplinary approaches. The journal recognizes the use of techniques from molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches in plant science. Abstracting and Indexing Information for New Phytologist includes Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, Agroforestry Abstracts, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index, Botanical Pesticides, CAB Abstracts®, Environment Index, Global Health, and Plant Breeding Abstracts, and others.
