Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Functional zeta diversity can better reveal fish metacommunity assembly process in a transitional floodplain

Ecological Indicators
Comprehending the mechanisms governing metacommunity assembly holds pivotal importance for effective conservation strategies. Amidst diverse theories in explaining metacommunity assembly processes, ecologists are progressively delving into the interplay ...

Spatial distribution of acoustic traits in bird assemblages along regional bioclimatic gradients

Ecography, EarlyView.
Environmental variation shapes acoustic interactions among birds, creating spatial structures in the sonic signature of local species assemblages. Exploring these patterns at regional scales can reveal processes that segregate acoustic strategies along environmental gradients.

Effects of demographic noise on the synchronization of a metapopulation in a fluctuating environment [PDF]

, 2011
We use the theory of noise-induced phase synchronization to analyze the effects of demographic noise on the synchronization of a metapopulation of predator-prey systems within a fluctuating environment (Moran effect).

Understanding macroinvertebrate metacommunity organization using a nested study design across a mountainous river network

, 2021
Metacommunity ecology highlights the importance of integrating simultaneously environmental filtering and spatial processes, such as mass effects and dispersal limitation, into investigation of community assembly.

Cross-Scale Analyses of Animal and Human Gut Microbiome Assemblies from Metacommunity to Global Landscape

mSystems, 2021
Understanding how the coevolution (evolutionary time scale) and/or the interactions (ecological time scale) between animal (human) gut microbiomes and their hosts shape the processes of the microbiome assembly and diversity maintenance is important but ...

The feasibility principle in community ecology

Oikos, EarlyView.
The structure and function of ecological communities emerge from interactions among populations within specific environmental contexts. Yet we still lack general principles that explain how communities assemble, which patterns we should expect, and when transitions occur across diverse settings.

A Landscape of Opportunities for Microbial Ecology Research

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Microbes encompass tremendous biodiversity, provide support to all living forms, including humans, and play an important role in many ecosystem services. The rules that govern microorganism community assembly are increasingly revealed due to key advances

Community rescue in experimental metacommunities [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
Significance Global environmental change is challenging the adaptive capacity of entire ecological communities. Community rescue occurs when populations within a community evolve in response to an environmental stress that was initially lethal to all the constituent organisms.
