Aim: Understanding the relative contribution of different species interactions in shaping community assembly has been a pivotal aim in community ecology. Biotic interactions are acknowledged to be important at local scales, although their signal is assumed to weaken over longer distances. We examine the relationship between positive, neutral and negative pairwise bird abundance distributions and the phylogenetic and functional distance between these pairs after first controlling for habitat associations. Location: France and Finland. Time period: 1984 to 2011 (Finland), 2001 to 2012 (France). Major Taxa studied: Birds. Methods: We used results from French and Finnish land bird monitoring programmes, from which we created three independent datasets (French forests, French farmlands and Finnish forests). Separately for the three datasets, we fitted linear mixed-effects models for pairwise abundance values across years per point count station to infer the association between all common species pairs, while controlling for geographical distribution and habitat associations, and saved pairwise regression coefficients for further analyses. We used a null model approach to infer whether the observed associations (effect sizes) differ from random. Finally, using quantile regression, we analysed the relationships between functional dissimilarity/phylogenetic distance and effect sizes. Results: Our results show both negative and positive species interactions, although negative interactions were twice as common as positive interactions. Closely related species were more likely to show strong associations, both negative and positive, than more distant species across broad spatial scales. For functional dissimilarity, the results varied across datasets. Main conclusions: Our results emphasize the potential of functional and phylogenetic proximity in generating both negative and positive species associations, which can produce pervasive patterns from local to geographical scales. Future assembly studies should refrain from strict dichotomies, such as compensatory dynamics versus environmental forcing, and instead consider the possibility of positive interactions.

Do large‐scale associations in birds imply biotic interactions or environmental filtering?
Elo, Merja; Kajanus, Mira H.; Tolvanen, Jere; Devictor, Vincent; Forsman, Jukka T.; Lehikoinen, Aleksi; Mönkkönen, Mikko; Thorson, James T.; Vollstädt, Maximilian G. R.; Kivelä, Sami M. (Wiley, 2023)Aim There has been a wide interest in the effect of biotic interactions on species' occurrences and abundances at large spatial scales, coupled with a vast development of the statistical methods to study them. Still, ... -
The Ghost of the Hawk : Top Predator Shaping Bird Communities in Space and Time
Burgas, Daniel; Ovaskainen, Otso; Blanchet, F. Guillaume; Byholm, Patrik (Frontiers Media SA, 2021)Despite the wide recognition that strongly interacting species can influence distributions of other species, species interactions are often disregarded when assessing or projecting biodiversity distributions. In particular, ... -
Traits and phylogenies modulate the environmental responses of wood‐inhabiting fungal communities across spatial scales
Abrego, Nerea; Bässler, Claus; Christensen, Morten; Heilmann‐Clausen, Jacob (Wiley, 2022)Identifying the spatial scales at which community assembly processes operate is fundamental for gaining a mechanistic understanding of the drivers shaping ecological communities. In this study, we examined whether and how ... -
A case study on joint species distribution modelling with bird atlas data : Revealing limits to species' niches
Seoane, Javier; Estrada, Alba; Jones, Mirkka M.; Ovaskainen, Otso (Elsevier BV, 2023)Growing interest in biodiversity mapping has spurred the development of species distribution atlases, often mainly based on citizen-science projects. Atlas data have been frequently exploited to model species' ecological ... -
Breeding near heterospecifics as a defence against brood parasites : can redstarts lower probability of cuckoo parasitism using neighbours?
Moreras, Angela; Tolvanen, Jere; Tornberg, Risto; Mönkkönen, Mikko; Forsman, Jukka T.; Thomson, Robert L. (Springer, 2022)Breeding habitat choice based on the attraction to other species can provide valuable social information and protection benefits. In birds, species with overlapping resources can be a cue of good quality habitats; species ...
