Robust and reliable estimates of demographic parameters are essential to understand population dynamics. Natal dispersal is a common process in monitored populations and can cause underestimations of survival and dispersal due to permanent emigration ...

Ground layer plant species turnover and beta diversity in southern-European old-growth forests. [PDF]
Different assembly processes may simultaneously affect local-scale variation of species composition in temperate old-growth forests. Ground layer species diversity reflects chance colonization and persistence of low-dispersal species, as well as fine ...

Phytoplankton regionalism in natural mesocosm-like wetlands of an island archipelago in the Aegean Sea [PDF]
Wetlands are globally recognised as biodiversity refugia and critical climate regulators, yet they are increasingly threatened by human pressures. Although phytoplankton plays a foundational role in aquatic food webs, the ecological processes governing ...

Unraveling the mechanisms structuring microbial community is a central goal in microbial ecology, but a detailed understanding of how community assembly processes relate to living habitats is still lacking. Here, via 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we

Clusters of incompatible genotypes evolve with limited dispersal [PDF]
Theoretical and empirical studies have shown heterogeneous selection to be the primary driver for the evolution of reproductively isolated genotypes in the absence of geographic barriers. Here, we ask whether limited dispersal alone can lead to the evolution of reproductively isolated genotypes despite the absence of any geographic barriers or ...

Are plant species able to keep pace with the rapidly changing climate?
Future climate change is predicted to advance faster than the postglacial warming. Migration may therefore become a key driver for future development of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

Little is known regarding how community assembly and species association vary with habitat and depth. Here, we examined the assembly and association of protistan and bacterial communities across a coast-shelf-slope-basin gradient of the South China Sea ...

Dispersal shapes compositional and functional diversity in aquatic microbial communities
Segregation and mixing shape the structure and functioning of aquatic microbial communities, but their respective roles are challenging to disentangle in field studies.
