Historical processes constrain metacommunity structure by shaping different pools of invertebrate taxa within the Orinoco basin

Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2019
To identify and characterize the distribution of invertebrate taxa in the Orinoco basin and how their distribution affects the metacommunity structure along the river network.

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 ...

Biodiversity, community structure and function of biofilms in stream ecosystems [PDF]

, 2015
Multi-species, surface-attached biofilms often dominate microbial life in streams and rivers, where they contribute substantially to biogeochemical processes.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Turnover, Uniqueness, and Environmental Filtering Shape Helminth Parasite Metacommunities in Freshwater Fish Pseudoxiphophorus bimaculatus (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae)

Diversity
Understanding the processes that shape parasite community structure across spatial scales is essential for linking ecological theory with host–parasite dynamics.

Stochastic Forces in Microbial Community Assembly: Founding Community Size Governs Divergent Ecological Trajectories

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
The processes driving community assembly are broadly categorised into deterministic and stochastic ones. With a multi‐replicated experimental design, we quantified the extent to which stochasticity at initial stages of community assembly could drive divergence into alternative ecological trajectories.

Inferring processes of community assembly from macroscopic patterns: the case for inclusive and mechanistic approaches [PDF]

, 2017
Statistical techniques exist for inferring community assembly processes from community patterns. Habitat filtering, competition, and biogeographical effects have, for example, been inferred from signals in phenotypic and phylogenetic data. The usefulness

Bee community and trait‐based responses to fire in a Mediterranean landscape

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 530-547, May 2026.
Fire drives a short‐term increase in bee abundance and diversity, despite its strong negative impact on floral resources. Acting as an environmental filter, fire shapes bee communities as increased post‐fire fine‐scale heterogeneity favors bees with specific functional traits such as ground‐nesting and generalist species.

Structure of a metacommunity of urban bees: Species diversity and spatio-temporal modularity

Basic and Applied Ecology

Towards an integrative understanding of soil biodiversity [PDF]

, 2019
Soil is one of the most biodiverse terrestrial habitats. Yet, we lack an integrative conceptual framework for understanding the patterns and mechanisms driving soil biodiversity.
