Understanding the patterns and ecological determinants of β diversity in freshwater
ecosystems is fundamental to biogeography, conservation biology, and environmental …

Aim Disentangling how stochastic and deterministic processes contribute to variation in beta
diversity is a common goal for ecologists and biogeographers. However, such studies are …

Habitat loss and fragmentation reduce biodiversity and alter species composition in local
communities. β diversity describes the variation in species composition between or among …

Phylogenies summarize evolutionary information that is essential in the investigation of
ecological and evolutionary causes of diversity patterns. They allow investigating …

Aim We examined variation in crustacean zooplankton composition and diversity across
Canada, the most lake‐rich country in the world. In addition to α‐diversity patterns, we …

Identifying the drivers that promote unique species compositions (ie ecological uniqueness)
is crucial to understanding the mechanisms underpinning diversity patterns and for effective …

Introduction Although it is widely acknowledged that biodiversity maintains plant community
assembly processes, exploring the patterns and drivers of beta-diversity (β-diversity; species …

Spatial patterns of species richness, phylogenetic and morphological diversity are key to
answering many questions in ecology and evolution. Across spatial scales, geographical …

Comprehending fish diversity through multiple dimensions is a crucial aspect in advancing
our understanding of fish populations and promoting sustainable fisheries as well as …

Hydrological variations affect habitat characteristics and fish distribution in floodplain lakes.
Assessing the contributions of the local community (ie, LCBD, community uniqueness) and …
