DNA metabarcoding reveals metacommunity dynamics in a threatened boreal wetland wilderness
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Too often, ecological monitoring studies are designed without understanding whether they have sufficient statistical power to detect changes beyond natural variability.

Spatial heterogeneity promotes coexistence of rock-paper-scissor metacommunities
, 2012 The rock-paper-scissor game -- which is characterized by three strategies R,P,S, satisfying the non-transitive relations S excludes P, P excludes R, and R excludes S -- serves as a simple prototype for studying more complex non-transitive systems.

Assembly processes of gastropod community change with horizontal and vertical zonation in ancient Lake Ohrid: a metacommunity speciation perspective [PDF]
, 2016 The Balkan Lake Ohrid is the oldest and most diverse freshwater lacustrine system in Europe. However, it remains unclear whether species community composition, as well as the diversification of its endemic taxa, is mainly driven by dispersal limitation ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Precipitation‐induced landslides, which are predicted to increase under the changing climate, may have large impacts on insect community properties. However, understanding of how insect community properties shift following landslides remains limited ...

Metacommunity in dynamic landscapes [PDF]
, 2015 AbstractPredictions from theory, field data, and experiments have shown that high landscape connectivity promotes higher species richness than low connectivity. However, examples demonstrating high diversity in low connected landscapes also exist. Here we describe the many factors that drive landscape connectivity at different spatiotemporal scales by ...

Molecular Ecology, 2021 Disentangling the relative role of environmental filtering and spatial processes in driving metacommunity structure across mountainous regions remains challenging, as the way we quantify spatial connectivity in topographically and environmentally ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

A seed-diffusion model for tropical tree diversity patterns
, 2012 Diversity patterns of tree species in a tropical forest community are approached by a simple lattice model and investigated by Monte Carlo simulations using a backtracking method.

Reserve Size And Fragmentation Alter Community Assembly, Diversity, And Dynamics [PDF]
, 2013 Researchers have disputed whether a single large habitat reserve will support more species than many small reserves. However, relatively little is known from a theoretical perspective about how reserve size affects competitive communities structured by ...
