Environmental filtering, spatial processes and biotic interactions jointly shape different traits communities of stream macroinvertebrates [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The metacommunity concept has been widely used to explain the biodiversity patterns at various scales. It considers the influences of both local (e.g., environmental filtering and biotic interactions) and regional processes (e.g., dispersal limitation ...

Environmental Filtering Influences Functional Community Assembly of Epibenthic Communities [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Community assembly theory states that species assemble non-randomly as a result of dispersal limitation, biotic interactions, and environmental filtering.

Environmental Filtering Drives the Assembly of Habitat Generalists and Specialists in the Coastal Sand Microbial Communities of Southern China [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2019 Coastal sands harbor diverse microbial assemblages that play a critical role in the biogeochemical cycling of beach ecosystems. However, little is known about the relative importance of the different ecological processes underlying the assembly of ...

Trait‐mediated environmental filtering drives assembly at biogeographic transition zones [PDF]
Ecology, 2014 Abiotic filtering is a major driver of gradients in the structure and functioning of ecosystems from the tropics to the poles. It is thus likely that environmental filtering is an important assembly process at the transition of biogeographical zones ...

Strong Environmental Filtering Based on Hydraulic Traits Occurring in the Lower Water Availability of Temperate Forest Communities [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The trait-based approaches have made progress in understanding the community assembly process. Here, we explore the key traits that may shape community assembly patterns of the same community type but within different water availabilities.

The primacy of species turnover over intraspecific variation in the environmental filtering of understory ferns [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionQuantifying community-level trait shifts, driven by species turnover and intraspecific trait variation (ITV), is essential for understanding environmental filtering and elucidating community assembly and species coexistence.

Deforestation strengthens environmental filtering and competitive exclusion in Neotropical streams and rivers. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2023 International audienceUnderstanding how anthropization impacts the assembly of species onto communities is pivotal to go beyond the observation of biodiversity changes and reveal how disturbances affect the environmental and biotic processes shaping ...

Environmental filtering and dispersal limitation jointly shaped the taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversity of natural forests in southern China [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Aim The mechanisms underlying the maintenance of biodiversity remain to be elucidated. Taxonomic diversity alone remains an unresolved issue, especially in terms of the mechanisms of species co‐existence.
