Aim Disentangling how stochastic and deterministic processes contribute to variation in beta
diversity is a common goal for ecologists and biogeographers. However, such studies are …

Unraveling the ecological factors that control variation in local community structure in space
and time is fundamental to metacommunity ecology. In this scenario, environmental filtering …

Metacommunity ecology emphasizes that community structure and diversity are not only
determined by local environmental conditions through environmental filtering, but also by …

Understanding the relative role of dispersal dynamics and niche constraints is not only a
core task in community ecology, but also becomes an important prerequisite for …

Environmental heterogeneity and dispersal limitation are important drivers of beta diversity;
however, their relative influence on the two fundamental components of beta diversity (ie …

Biodiversity loss is increasing worldwide, necessitating effective approaches to counteract
negative trends. Here, we assessed aquatic macroinvertebrate biodiversity in two river …

River–floodplain connectivity (ie lateral hydrological connectivity, LHC) can directly affect the
community characteristics by promoting dispersal of organisms but can also have profound …

Determining the patterns of diversity and community composition in headwater streams is
fundamental to river biodiversity conservation. Environmental selection has been assumed …

雅鲁藏布江流域维系着丰富而独特的生物资源, 是全球生物多样性研究的热点区域. 然而,
该流域底栖动物多样性的调查却极不充分. 本文于2015 年10 月和2016 年3 …

The spatial distribution of suitable habitats and dispersal abilities of the constituent taxa
jointly affect the structure of metacommunities in standing freshwaters. Most studies …
