Seasonal dynamics in terrestrial insect communities after the impact of the Brumadinho tailings dam disaster

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 634-646, May 2026.
Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...

Using neutral theory to reveal the contribution of meta-community processes to assembly in complex landscapes

Journal of Limnology, 2014
The metacommunity perspective appears as an appropriate conceptual framework to make ecology more predictive. It is particularly relevant to limnology, where exchanges of organisms and nutrients affect community and ecosystem properties from the local to

On the relative importance of space and environment in farmland bird community assembly.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The relative contribution of ecological processes in shaping metacommunity dynamics in heavily managed landscapes is still unclear. Here we used two complementary approaches to disentangle the role of environment and spatial effect in farmland bird ...

Identification of metacommunities in bioregions with historical habitat networks

Ecology and Evolution
Although metacommunity theory provides many useful insights for conservation planning, the transfer of this knowledge to practice is hampered due to the difficulty of identifying metacommunities in bioregions.

Metacommunity Structure of Helminths of Necromys Lasiurus (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) in Different Land Use Areas in the Brazilian Cerrado

Journal of Parasitology, 2019
The ecology of host–parasite interactions can be studied in the infracommunity and component community scales, which may show different patterns in species distributions, interacting and affecting each other on a regional scale.

Soil nematode metacommunities in different land covers: Assessment at the local and regional scales

Ecology and Evolution
The metacommunity theory enhances our understanding of how ecological processes regulate community structure. Yet, unraveling the complexities of soil nematode metacommunity structures across various spatial scales and determining the factors influencing

Benthic invertebrates nestedness in flood and drought periods in a Neotropical floodplain: looking for the richest environments

Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia
Aim Floodplains are among the most biologically diverse systems in the world, where hydrological regime is recognized as crucial to structure aquatic communities. We predicted that i) structure of benthic metacommunity is nested in the drought and random

Pools "on the rocks" : freshwater rock pools as model system in ecological and evolutionary research [PDF]

, 2010
Rock pools inarguably exhibit a number of characteristics which make them attractive as a model system in ecological and evolutionary research. They are usually small, pristine, clearly delineated and structurally simple systems that occur on a global ...
