Aim The variation in species composition among sites, or beta diversity, can be decomposed
into replacement and richness difference. A debate is ongoing in the literature concerning …

A range of factors may determine the structure of ecological communities in time and space,
in particular niches, dispersal limits, and the evolutionary history of the species. In the last …

Multiple ecosystem services (ES) can respond similarly to social and ecological factors to
form bundles. Identifying key social-ecological variables and understanding how they co …

Soil fungi, protists, and animals (ie, the eukaryome) play a critical role in key ecosystem
functions in terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, we lack a holistic understanding of the processes …

The spatial structure of the environment (eg the configuration of habitat patches) may play
an important role in determining the strength of local adaptation. However, previous studies …

Aims We analyse here the variations in species composition and richness and the
geographic ranges of the tree species occurring in South American subtropical Atlantic and …

Both habitat filtering and dispersal limitation influence the compositional structure of forest
communities, but previous studies examining the relative contributions of these processes …

Diaptomid copepods are an important component of biodiversity in inland aquatic
ecosystems worldwide but to date little is known about the historical and ecological factors …

Background Microbiome recruitment is influenced by plant host, but how host plant impacts
the assembly, functions, and interactions of perennial plant root microbiomes is poorly …

Metacommunity structure can be shaped by a variety of processes operating at different
spatial scales. With increasing scale, the compositional variation among local communities …
