ABSTRACT Aim The relationships between environmental variables and macroinvertebrate assemblages depend on spatial extent, but the relative importance of local and regional factors remains unclear. Understanding these scale‐dependent relationships is crucial for improving biodiversity assessments and ecosystem management.

ABSTRACT Aim How communities of organisms come together has long fascinated scientists, with renewed interest in using functional and evolutionary patterns to infer mechanisms of community assembly. Ecological theory predicts that biotic interactions could lead to either divergence in the event of niche partitioning or convergence through the exclusion

Diazotrophy and diversity of benthic cyanobacteria in tropical coastal zones
Discoveries in recent years have disclosed the importance of marine cyano-bacteria in the context of primary production and global nitrogen cycling. It is hypothesized here that microbial mats in tropical coastal habitats harbour a rich diversity of previously uncharacterized cyanobacteria and that benthic marine nitrogen fixation in coastal zones is ...

Global Change Likely to Promote the Expansion of the Quagga Mussel (Dreissena bugensis) in Europe
ABSTRACT Aim Invasive aquatic species are a pressing concern for environmental managers due to their significant impacts and high eradication costs. The Ponto‐Caspian region is a notable source of aquatic invasive species, with over 40 invaders currently affecting freshwater ecosystems throughout Europe.
