Environmental, spatial, and temporal factors play an important role in beta diversity in
metacommunities. Most studies are based only on species identity, and little is known about …

Fluctuations in genomic repetitive fractions (repeatome) are known to impact several facets
of evolution, such as ecological adaptation and speciation processes. Therefore …

Invasive species have become a dominant component of native grasslands, leading to a
reduction in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Grasslands hold the potential to …

Nematodes are the most abundant and diverse animals on the planet but lack
representation in biodiversity research. This presents a problem for studying nematode …

Antarctica terrestrial ecosystems are facing the most threats from global climate change,
which is altering plant composition greatly. These transformations may cause major …

The ecoregion of the Nebraska Sandhills is the largest intact temperate grassland in the
world and is impacted by climate change, specifically drought. Despite the well-established …

Abstract Background and Aims Genomic changes triggered by polyploidy, chromosomal
rearrangements, and/or environmental stress are among factors that affect the activity of …

Introduction Global change events (eg, worsening drought) are increasing environmental
stress in a variety of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. The degree to which communities in …

The timing and duration of lake ice cover is a critical driver of lake ecosystem dynamics and
