Seasonal changes in metacommunity assembly mechanisms of benthic macroinvertebrates in a subtropical river basin.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Unraveling the ecological factors that control variation in local community structure in space and time is fundamental to metacommunity ecology. In this scenario, environmental filtering and spatial processes are recognized as important drivers of ...

METACOMMUNICATIONS: A Missed Opportunity?

Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 1991
1. The process of communication is a multilevel phenomenon. Certain levels may be transparent or hidden. 2. Human communication dictates that people not only communicate, but also that they communicate about their communication. In essence, humans metacommunicate. 3.

Scale‐dependent patterns of metacommunity structuring in aquatic organisms across floodplain systems

Journal of Biogeography, 2020
Evaluating how groups of organisms vary in dispersal capability and how environmental, spatial and temporal signals vary across multiple scales is critical to elucidating metacommunity theory.

The terminology of metacommunity ecology

Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2012
One of the most promising theoretical frameworks for studying responses to ecological change is the metacommunity concept. Recent work by Logue et al. [1] provided the first comprehensive synthesis of empirical metacommunity research since the seminal work by Leibold et al. published in 2004 [2]. In their original work [2], Leibold et al.

Habitat destruction in mutualistic metacommunities

Theoretical Population Biology, 2004
We investigate a mutualistic metacommunity where the strength of the mutualistic interaction between species is measured by the extent to which the presence of one species on a patch either reduces the extinction rate of the others present on the same patch or increases their ability to colonize other patches.

The evolutionary ecology of metacommunities

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2008
Research on the interactions between evolutionary and ecological dynamics has largely focused on local spatial scales and on relatively simple ecological communities. However, recent work demonstrates that dispersal can drastically alter the interplay between ecological and evolutionary dynamics, often in unexpected ways.

Instruction in metacommunication

Central States Speech Journal, 1974
The author suggests that “metacommunication” may serve as a central organizing concept around which instructional units in interpersonal communication may be organized and that the improvement of students’ capacities to metacommunicate is an important skill which instruction in interpersonal communication should seek to develop.
