Broad-scale studies of species distributions and diversity have contributed to the emergence
of general macroecological rules. These rules are typically founded on research using well …

The taxonomic composition and diversity of host and epiphytic macroalgal species are
important elements in the structure and diversity of marine ecosystems. In this paper, the …

Disturbance regime and site productivity are considered the main factors shaping plant
species assemblages and community diversity in riparian ecosystems, but whether and how …

Metacommunity ecology has broadened considerably with the recognition that measuring
beta diversity beyond the purely taxonomic viewpoint may improve our understanding of the …

Despite the large number of ponds scattered across the landscape, there is still insufficient
recognition of their functioning. This would require the development of methods for …

Statistical and climate models are frequently used for biodiversity projections under future
climatic changes, but their predictive capacity for freshwater plankton may vary among …

Aim Understanding the patterns and drivers of biodiversity across space and time is
commonly based on species diversity, which may ignore species' functional role and …

Submerged freshwater macrophytes are crucial for the functioning of lakes. Their growth and
survival follow environmental conditions like light, temperature, and nutrient availability …

Biodiversity is declining globally at a rapid rate nowadays as a result of a variety of global
changes, and estimating how biodiversity loss affects ecosystem process (eg, productivity) is …

IntroductionSubmerged macrophytes provide a broad range of ecosystem services in lakes
(Thomaz, 2021). They create habitat for many other species and change the lake …
