Ecological niches are highly complex constructs that are difficult to understand with simple formulas or analyses (Kearney 2006; Pocheville 2015). This is especially true in the field of paleoecological research, where they are even more difficult to understand because there are few methods to ...
In the absence of a nonlinear association between ACEs and the dependent variable, the association was modeled with a simple linear term, and the beta coeffi- cient for the increase in the dependent variable per addi- tional ACE was reported rather than using restricted cubic splines. In the ...
