Odonata metacommunity structure in northern ecosystems is driven by temperature and latitude

, 2021
The metacommunity concept, defined as a set of local communities connected by species dispersal, provides deep understanding of large‐scale ecological processes.

Common processes drive metacommunity structure in freshwater fish

Global Ecology and Biogeography
Environmental change affects metacommunity structure both directly—via abiotic factors and dispersal that affect species occurrence—and indirectly—via complex interactions among co‐occurring species.

Sediment resuspension drives protist metacommunity structure and assembly in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodonidella) aquaculture ponds.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Protists in aquaculture ponds are key components associated with primary productivity, nutrient cycling, and fish healthy. However, the protist metacommunity diversity, as well as the ecological and environmental factors that structure protist ...

Chiropteran metacommunity structure in the Atlantic Forest of South America

Journal of Biogeography, 2020
Spatial patterns of local species composition are shaped by dispersal ability. Here we examine the effects of dispersal ability on metacommunity structure of bats throughout the Atlantic Forest of South America considering differences among communities ...

Spatial processes determine planktonic diatom metacommunity structure of headwater streams

, 2020
Headwater streams are interesting ecological systems for studies of metacommunities given their high degrees of isolation, unidirectionality of water flow and hierarchical organization in the drainage network.

Metacommunity structure analysis reveals nested patterns in deconstructed macroinvertebrates assemblages

, 2020
Understanding processes driving patterns of species distribution and diversity is one of the main objectives of community ecology. The aim of our study was to evaluate the spatial variation in assemblage composition of stream‐dwelling macroinvertebrates ...
