Lakes in the era of global change: moving beyond single‐lake thinking in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services
The Anthropocene presents formidable threats to freshwater ecosystems. Lakes are
especially vulnerable and important at the same time. They cover only a small area …

Metacommunity organisation, spatial extent and dispersal in aquatic systems: patterns, processes and prospects
Metacommunity ecology addresses the situation where sets of local communities are
connected by the dispersal of a number of potentially interacting species. Aquatic systems …
