Modification of Density Dependence and Habitat Filtering on Seedling Survival of Different Mycorrhizal-Type Tree Species in Temperate Forests

open access: yesForests, 2023
Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) and habitat filtering are critical to seedling survival. However, the relative importance of the two processes in affecting survival of seedlings with different types of mycorrhizae remains unclear.

How do habitat filtering and niche conservatism affect community composition at different taxonomic resolutions?

open access: yesEcology, 2014
Understanding how local species assembly depends on the regional biogeographic and environmental context is a challenging task in community ecology.

Environmental filtering and habitat (mis)matching of riverine invertebrate metacommunities

Journal of Biogeography, 2022
Abstract Aim Metacommunities are assembled through a combination of local and regional processes, with the relative importance of the drivers of assembly depending on ecological context.

Habitat filtering influences plant–pollinator interactions in prairie ecosystems

Botany, 2019
The xeric hypothesis is that bees are more abundant pollinators than anthophilous flies in dry, temperate biomes, and the habitat filtering hypothesis is that differences in the proportions will impact plant community composition because different pollinators favour different floral traits.

Landscape and habitat filters jointly drive richness and abundance of specialist plants in terrestrial habitat islands

Landscape Ecology, 2018
Landscape and habitat filters are major drivers of biodiversity of small habitat islands by influencing dispersal and extinction events in plant metapopulations. We assessed the effects of landscape and habitat filters on the species richness, abundance and trait composition of grassland specialist and generalist plants in small habitat islands.

The effects of habitat filtering on the phylogenetic structure of the urban flora of Brussels (Belgium)

Community Ecology, 2012
Community ecologists have become increasingly interested in analyzing the phylogenetic diversity of species assemblages. Species that co-occur in the same habitats often share a common phylogenetic history such that at coarse spatial scales a species assemblage with a locally clustered phylogenetic structure is usually associated with the presence of ...

Characterization of the Hydraulic Habitat of Brachycentrus occidentalis, a Filter-Feeding Caddisfly

Journal of the North American Benthological Society, 1990
Local velocity and flow profiles (50 cm in length) were measured in accelerating transitional-velocity zones in two 20-40-m long contrasting reaches of cobble and shale substrate in Wilson Creek, Manitoba, to characterize the observed hydraulic habitat of individual Brachycentrus occidentalis larvae (instars IV and V).

Habitat‐related differences in the frequency selectivity of auditory filters in songbirds

Functional Ecology, 2010
Summary 1. Environmental constraints in woodland habitats favour long‐range communication signals with slow modulations of frequency and amplitude, while constraints in open habitats favour faster modulations. 2. Spectral filtering by the peripheral auditory system results in a trade‐off between frequency resolution and temporal resolution of ...

Predicting habitat suitability of filter-feeder communities in a shallow marine environment, New Zealand

Marine Environmental Research, 2021
The distribution of benthic ecosystems, dominated by filter-feeding communities, is highly influenced by the seabed geomorphology. However, the spatial variation in settlement of these species is also affected by near-bottom currents and any changes in light, nutrient concentration and food quality often associated with increases of suspended sediment ...

Phylogenetic habitat filtering influences forest nucleation in grasslands

Oikos, 2010
Because species–environment interactions are mediated by phenotypic tradeoffs, the maintenance of ancestral traits in some phylogenetic clades and the emergence of evolutionary novelties in others are likely to limit the types of habitats that species occupy, generating phylogenetic habitat filtering. To test for phylogenetic habitat filtering in woody
