Macroecology of macrophytes in the freshwater realm: Patterns, mechanisms and implications
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 …

Current climate overrides historical effects on species richness and range size of freshwater plants in Europe and North America
The latitudinal diversity gradient hypothesis suggests that species richness should be
highest at low latitudes, whereas Rapoport's rule states that largest ranges ought to be found …

Same species, same habitat preferences? The distribution of aquatic plants is not explained by the same predictors in lakes and streams
Studying the geographical distribution of species can reveal conditions and processes that
may drive species presence and abundance. Organism distribution has frequently been …
