Conservation biological control in agroecosystems requires a landscape management
perspective, because most arthropod species experience their habitat at spatial scales …

Explaining the mechanisms underlying patterns of species diversity and composition in
riverine networks is challenging. Historically, community ecologists have conceived of …

Communities assemble through a combination of stochastic processes, which can make
environmentally similar communities divergent (high β‐diversity), and deterministic …

Understanding biodiversity distribution is a primary goal of community ecology. At a
landscape scale, bee communities are affected by habitat composition, anthropogenic land …

Ecologists have long realized that stable species richness values can mask rapid turnover in
species composition. Because turnover occurs as a consequence of both local and regional …

The role of habitat selection behaviour in the assembly of natural communities is an
increasingly important theme in ecology. At the same time, ecologists and conservation …

The ability of females to assess habitat quality for offspring can strongly influence individual
reproductive success as well as population dynamics and community assembly. However …

The role of habitat choice behavior in the dynamics of predator-prey systems is explored
using simple mathematical models. The models assume a three-species food chain in which …

Disturbance and dispersal are two fundamental ecological processes that shape diversity
patterns, yet their interaction and the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood …

The magnitude of community-wide dispersal is central to metacommunity models, yet
dispersal is notoriously difficult to quantify in passive and cryptic dispersers such as many …
