Although metacommunity ecology has improved our understanding of how dispersal affects
community structure and dynamics across spatial scales, it has yet to adequately account for …

Beta diversity can be analysed using various approaches, but those integrating site and
species contributions to beta diversity are rare in floodplain lake systems. We analysed the …

Dispersal and dormancy are two common strategies allowing for species persistence and
the maintenance of biodiversity in variable environments. However, theory and empirical …

In Mediterranean temporary ponds, the timing of annual flooding is highly variable and
depends on heavy seasonal rains. Ponds can flood in the autumn, winter, or spring, and …

Eutrophication and warming lead to frequent occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms, which
significantly impact on zooplankton. Freshwater zooplankton Daphnia adopts two distinct …

Recovery, recolonization, and adaptation in a chemical stress context are processes that
regenerate local populations and communities as well as the functions these communities …
