Reacción a "A macro study examines how other species and climate change influence the geographical distribution of brown bears"

The research carried out in this study is, in my opinion, rigorous and relevant, both because of the breadth of international collaboration and the methodological approach used. The authors address one of the common limitations in species distribution modelling: the limited consideration of large-scale biotic interactions.

By integrating a food web based on 276 species present in the brown bear's diet and spatially modelling their energy contribution, the study provides a more accurate picture of the combined influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the current and future distribution of the species in Europe. This approach is in line with recent scientific literature, which highlights the need to incorporate ecological interactions to improve the accuracy of projections in contexts of global change.
