A sound understanding of the community changes over time and its driving forces is at the
centre of biodiversity conservation and ecology research. In this study, we examined:(i) the …

Aim Understanding the variation in biodiversity and its underlying drivers and mechanisms
is a core task in biogeography and ecology. We examined (a) the relative contributions of …

Understanding diversity patterns and underlying drivers is one of the central topics in the
fields of biogeography and community ecology. Aquatic macroinvertebrates are widely …

A central goal of community ecology and biogeography involves understanding the spatial
patterns of organisms and their underlying mechanisms. Understanding how the structure of …

Given the multiple stressors affecting freshwater ecosystems and the limited resources
devoted to their management, effective conservation of freshwater biodiversity requires …

Community variation (ie, beta diversity) along geographical gradients is a well-known
ecological pattern, but the corresponding variation in beta diversity components (eg, species …

Environmentally sound solutions such as engineered ponds have primarily been
established for waste water treatment and flood control in urban areas. However, there is a …

Aim To assess the relative importance of wind intensity and direction in explaining wetland
invertebrate metacommunity organization. Location Seventy‐eight wetland ponds in …

Analyses of biota at lower latitudes may presage impacts of climate change on biota at
higher latitudes. Macroinvertebrate assemblages in depressional wetlands may be …

In this study, we tested the significance of environmental influences on non-marine ostracod
communities at high taxonomic levels across Patagonia, Argentina. We used a dataset …
