Although environmental filtering and spatial structuring are commonly regarded as two key
factors shaping community dynamics, their relative contribution remains unknown for …

Niche and dispersal‐based processes govern freshwater communities, such as aquatic
insects, shaping their distribution and establishment in the environment. So, we aimed to …

The organization of species metacommunities can be controlled by local factors, such as
habitat quality, landscape factors, such as land use, and spatial factors, such as stream …

Explaining the mechanisms underlying spatial and temporal variation in community
composition is a major challenge. Nevertheless, the processes controlling temporal variation …

Climate change is a critical threat to northern freshwater ecosystems, yet many remote areas
are data deficient in terms of biodiversity information. Generating community composition …

Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado has been experiencing intense land use changes for
decades, with large-scale conversion of its natural vegetation to agriculture and livestock …

In this study, we aimed to identify the factors that drive the patterns in beta diversity of fish
assemblages on the beaches of the Volta Grande do Xingu, a river stretch under the …

Variation in species composition along an environmental gradient (β‐diversity) can inform
our understanding of biodiversity patterns and species composition. Beta diversity can be …

Hydrological disconnection in intermittent rivers is known to increase β-diversity by limiting
the dispersal of species and decreasing environmental similarity between sites. Knowledge …

The identification of multiple facets of biodiversity (eg, phylogenetic and functional) can help
to understand how evolutionary and ecological mechanisms shape the assembly of …
