Studying interspecific population synchrony: current status and future perspectives

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Interspecific population synchrony, or co‐fluctuations in the population dynamics and demographic parameters of different species, is an important ecological phenomenon with major implications for the stability of communities and ecosystems. It is also central in the context of biodiversity loss, as interspecific synchrony can influence how ecological ...

Determining selection across heterogeneous landscapes: a perturbation-based method and its application to modeling evolution in space [PDF]

, 2017
Spatial structure can decisively influence the way evolutionary processes unfold. Several methods have thus far been used to study evolution in spatial systems, including population genetics, quantitative genetics, momentclosure approximations, and ...

Analysis of the elements of metacommunity structure in a Mediterranean basin: implications in the framework of global change

Aquatic Sciences
Abstract Metacommunity studies have been gaining in importance in recent decades due to their relevance when interpreting community dynamics. The elements of metacommunity structure (EMS), i.e. coherence, turnover and boundary clumping, are used to assess the assembly of metacommunities.

Environmental and Spatial Processes Drive the Phylogenetic Diversity and Structure of Planktonic Microeukaryotes Revealed by 18S rDNA Metabarcoding in a Tropical Floodplain

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
The community structure of photosynthetic planktonic microeukaryotes in the floodplain lakes of the Tocantins‐Araguaia River basin is influenced by a combination of environmental filters and spatial processes. Phylogenetic information from this community highlights the importance of conserving less degraded areas to preserve the evolutionary diversity ...

The effect of environmental stochasticity on species richness in neutral communities [PDF]

, 2016
Environmental stochasticity is known to be a destabilizing factor, increasing abundance fluctuations and extinction rates of populations. However, the stability of a community may benefit from the differential response of species to environmental ...

Migration rate, timing of sex, and resident genetic diversity jointly shape effective gene flow during rotifer colonization

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Dispersal is a complex process that affects all living organisms, with the settlement phase being particularly critical. This phase depends on the interaction between the environmental conditions of the new habitat and the biological traits of both resident and immigrant populations.

Remote sensing and wetland ecology: a South African case study [PDF]

, 2008
Remote sensing offers a cost efficient means for identifying and monitoring wetlands over a large area and at different moments in time. In this study, we aim at providing ecologically relevant information on characteristics of temporary and permanent ...

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

Bayesian analysis of community dynamics [PDF]

, 2010
Elucidating the mechanisms responsible for the patterns of species abundance, diversity, and distribution within and across ecological systems is a fundamental research focus in ecology.

The effect of immigration on the adaptation of microbial communities to warming [PDF]

, 2015
Theory predicts that immigration can either enhance or impair the rate at which species and whole communities adapt to environmental change, depending on the traits of genotypes and species in the source pool relative to local conditions. These responses
