BIOPIC - Disentangling the effects of demography, dispersal and biotic interactions on population and community response to global change

Understanding the interplay between different drivers of biodiversity change is vital for making robust predictions to novel environments. In BIOPIC, we aim to disentangle the complex roles of demography, dispersal and biotic interactions in shaping species niches, and assess their effects on population and community response to global change. A large part of this is further developing workflows for fitting dynamic population models like RangeShifter to large numbers of species and increasing reliability of biodiversity predictions.
