Harnessing the power of machine and deep learning for transferring joint species distribution models considering the structure of biotic interactions The transferability of single or joint species distribution models ((j)SDMs) depends on their ability to predict beyond the observed environmental range and to remain consistent despite shifts in bio...

Led by #MarcoBasile, we measured the transfer accuracy from continents to regions of jSDMs with deep/machine learning (DNN).

DNN-jSDM performed well at continental scale but not at the regional one, especially for the taxonomic groups with limited data.

Managed forests are a stronghold of non‐native beetles in Europe Species richness of native and non-native vascular plants modulates the species richness of non-native beetles through relationships with opposite signs. The interplay with management regimes and for...

Outcome of a #Cost #Bottoms-Up collaboration!

#MarcoBasile led a study demonstrating:
- hump-shaped relationship between non-native beetle and #plant species richness;
- the proportion of non-native #beetles is higher in managed than in unmanaged #forests.
