Correlations between the amount of energy received by an assemblage and the number of species that it contains are very general, and at the macro-scale such species–energy …
Wetlands are key habitats connected physically and socially with processes occurring over a much wider territory. The biotic connection through dispersal mechanisms among wetlands …
Speculation about the role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic invertebrates pre-dates Darwin. However, there is a critical shortage of field studies quantifying such dispersal. We …
Niche and neutral processes drive community assembly and metacommunity dynamics, but their relative importance might vary with the spatial scale. The contribution of niche …
To investigate the importance of lake size, we analysed the chemical and biological characteristics of nearly 800 Danish lakes ranging from 0.01 to 4200 ha. Most of the lakes …
Pelagic crustacean zooplankton were collected from 336 Norwegian lakes covering a wide range of latitude, altitude, lake area, mean depth, production (as chlorophyll a), and fish …
The nature of the relationship between productivity and species richness has remained controversial for at least two decades. Recently authors have favored the suggestion that the …
It is commonly assumed that waterbirds act as dispersal vectors of aquatic organisms. In this paper we review experimental work focusing on the endozoochorous transport of …
Changes in cladoceran subfossils in the surface sediments of 54 shallow lakes were studied along a European latitude gradient (36–68° N). Multivariate methods, such as regression …
