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 ...

Fighting Risky Population Synchronization: Desynchronization and Stabilization in Spatially Structured Ecological Systems [PDF]
, 2011 Population synchronization exists ubiquitously in ecological systems, of which the underlying causes and the roles in species extinction remain a perplexing puzzle.

Biodiversity, productivity, and the spatial insurance hypothesis revisited [PDF]
, 2015 Accelerating rates of biodiversity loss have led ecologists to explore the effects of species richness on ecosystem functioning and the flow of ecosystem services. One explanation of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning lies in

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 ...

Distinctive macroinvertebrate communities in a subtropical river network
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2019 Macroinvertebrates are widely used as bio-indicators in streams and rivers, and it is usually assumed that their community composition is primarily controlled by local environmental conditions.

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.

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 ...

Elements of fish metacommunity structure in Neotropical freshwater streams
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The identification of the mechanisms underlying patterns of species co‐occurrence is a way to identify which process(es) (niche, neutral, or both) structure metacommunities.
