Environmental filtering and community delineation in the streambed ecotone. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2018
AbstractA current controversy in ecology is whether biological communities are discrete biological entities or simply study units created for convenience; a debate that becomes even more heated when delimiting communities along ecotones. Here, we report an interdisciplinary study designed to address the interplay between environmental drivers and ...

Distinguishing the signatures of local environmental filtering and regional trait range limits in the study of trait-environment relationships

open access: yesOikos, 2019
Understanding the imprint of environmental filtering on community assembly along environmental gradients is a key objective of trait-gradient analyses.

Environmental filtering of life-history trait diversity in urban populations of Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2023
The challenges to which plants are exposed in urban environments represent, in miniature, the challenges plants face as a result of global environmental change.

Relative importance of deterministic and stochastic processes for beta diversity of bird assemblages in Yunnan, China

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Evaluating the relative importance of deterministic and stochastic processes underlying taxonomic and functional beta diversity is crucial in community ecology, because it can reveal the dominant processes of community assembly.

Environmental filtering drives the assembly of mammal communities in a heterogeneous Mediterranean region.

open access: yesEcological Applications, 2022
Agricultural expansion and intensification are major drivers of global change. Quantifying the importance of different processes governing the assembly of local communities in agroecosystems is essential to guide the conservation effort allocated to ...

[Translated article] Environmental Impact of UV Filters

open access: yesActas Dermo-Sifiliográficas, 2022
UV filters are used daily by millions of people. Not all of these filters, however, are 100% biodegradable, and many wastewater treatments plants are ill-equipped to filter them properly. As a result, UV filters are increasingly reaching the environment.

Environmental filtering and spatial processes equally contributed to macroinvertebrate metacommunity dynamics in the highly urbanized river networks in Shenzhen, South China

open access: yesEcological Processes, 2021
Background Disentangling the relative roles of environmental filtering and spatial processes in structuring ecological communities is a central topic in metacommunity ecology.

Do large‐scale associations in birds imply biotic interactions or environmental filtering?

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, 2022
There has been a wide interest in the effect of biotic interactions on species' occurrences and abundances at large spatial scales, coupled with a vast development of the statistical methods to study them.

Stream diatom assemblages in an Arctic catchment: diversity and relationship to ecosystem-scale primary production

open access: yesArctic Science, 2021
We quantified benthic diatom diversity in streams in the Miellajokka catchment, about 200 km north of the Arctic circle in Sweden. Beta diversity among sites was related to local-scale environmental heterogeneity (occurring on the order of 1 km or less),
