### Biogeography and ecological interactions --- name: style1 layout: true class: style1 --- # Geographic distribution
.center[] ??? Espèces et sites --- # Four categories of factors shaping distributions
## 1. Climatic + edaphic --
## 2. Dispersion (landscape structure / dispersion capacities) --
## 3. Ecological interactions --
## 4. Evolution ??? 4 = dimension temporelle large échelle biogéographique historique je n'aborderais pas les questions reltives à l'évolution --- # 1. Climatic
.center[] ??? On fait une inférence non pas sur l'espace mais sur les facteurs climatiques. On change d'espace ; classiquement température / préciptation / nature des sols --- # 2. Dispersion
.center[] --- # Species Distribution Models
.center[] ??? L'overlap mais que dit-il ? --- # 3. Ecological interactions
## - B feeds on A --
.center[] -- ## - Extinction probabilities impacted --- # A matter of spatial scale?

### Interactions and co-occurrence --- name: style1 layout: true class: style1 --- # Co-occurrence
## - Observed co-occurrence : `\(P(X_{A},X_{B})\)` -- ## - Independent co-occurrence : `\(P(X_{A})P(X_{B})\)` -- ## `\(P(X_{A},X_{B})\)` vs. `\(P(X_{A})P(X_{B})\)` --
### Historically, species in competition [Diamond, 1975]() ### `\(\rightarrow\)` *Checkerboard* distribution ### `\(\rightarrow\)` *C-score* ??? Si de telle manière alors elles intéragissent. --- # *Checkerboard* distribution
.center[] ??? $C_{ij} = (r_i- S_{ij}) (r_j - S_{ij})$ C-score but for competition only --- # Z-score (standardized co-occurrence)
# $$\frac{\text{"observed co-occurence"}-\mu}{\sigma}$$ -- ## `\(\mu \rightarrow\)` expected co-occurrence ## `\(\sigma \rightarrow\)` standard deviation associated --
## Scenarios -- ### 1. Sites are identical (Homogeneous, [Veech 2013](http://doi.wiley.com/10.1111/j.1466-8238.2012.00789.x)) -- ### 2. Environmental conditions are taken into account (SDM) -- ### a. Generalised Linear Model (GLM) -- ### b. Random Forest (RF) --- # Shorthest path

.center[] --- # Shorthest path
.center[] --- # Shortest path + co-occurrence
## 1. Distributions + network ### `\(\rightarrow\)` Nice datasets -- ## 2. SDM for all species ### `\(\rightarrow\)` Integrating physiological requirements -- ## 3. Network topology ### `\(\rightarrow\)` Shortest path for all pairs and mean degree in -- ## 4. Co-occurrence for all pairs (3 scenarios) ### `\(\rightarrow\)` Look at distribution of Z-score --- # Expectations

### Integrating interaction in biogeography --- name: style1 layout: true class: style1 --- # So, do ecological interactions impact geographic distributions of species?
# YES -- # Can we detect them is static occurrence data? ## `\(\rightarrow\)` it may be a matter of network topology.
-- ## 1. `\(\rightarrow\)` in networks with high connectance, species can be considered as independent. -- ## 2. `\(\rightarrow\)` species separated by more than one link can be considered as independent. ??? I feel like everyone feels so but the problem concerns predictions --- # Are our predictions reliable?
.center[] --- # Are our predictions reliable?
-- ## `\(\rightarrow\)` as long as interactions are abundant enough
-- ### `\(\rightarrow\)` if species assemblages move together --
## `\(\rightarrow\)`How likely it is? ### Not very much I guess. --- # Toward a more integrative biogeography
-- ### - We should not assume *a priori* that species are independent units --
### - Not only a spatial scale matter ... -- ### ... but also a matter of relevant biological unit for biogeography. -- .center[] --- # Toward a more integrative biogeography
