Biodiversity, productivity, and the spatial insurance hypothesis revisited [PDF]
, 2015 Accelerating rates of biodiversity loss have led ecologists to explore the effects of species richness on ecosystem functioning and the flow of ecosystem services. One explanation of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning lies in

Graph tools for analysing trophic assemblies in the isotopic space
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract A large amount of information on the trophic assembly of ecosystems is summarized in the isotopic space, and metrics for extracting this information are essential. Here, we show how the characterization of the isotopic space as an isotopic‐network of organisms linked by their trophic similarity significantly expands the isotopic toolbox for ...

Species Sorting of Benthic Invertebrates in a Salinity Gradient - Importance of Dispersal Limitation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The relative importance of environment and dispersal related processes for community assembly has attracted great interest over recent decades, but few empirical studies from the marine/estuarine realm have examined the possible effects of these two ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The gut microbiota of Gansu zokor is classified into two enterotypes, which exhibit distinct seasonal and habitat distributions, microbial diversity, and community compositions dominated by different Bacillota‐to‐Bacteroidota ratios. These enterotypes correlate with host body size and are characterized by unique probiotic and pathogenic biomarkers ...

Looking for hotspots of marine metacommunity connectivity: a methodological framework [PDF]
, 2016 Seascape connectivity critically affects the spatiotemporal dynamics of marine metacommunities. Understanding how connectivity patterns emerge from physically and biologically-mediated interactions is therefore crucial to conserve marine ecosystem ...

Studying interspecific population synchrony: current status and future perspectives
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Interspecific population synchrony, or co‐fluctuations in the population dynamics and demographic parameters of different species, is an important ecological phenomenon with major implications for the stability of communities and ecosystems. It is also central in the context of biodiversity loss, as interspecific synchrony can influence how ecological ...

Limit theorems for supercritical age-dependent branching processes with neutral immigration [PDF]
, 2010 We consider a branching process with Poissonian immigration where individuals have inheritable types. At rate theta, new individuals singly enter the total population and start a new population which evolves like a supercritical, homogeneous, binary ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.The community structure of photosynthetic planktonic microeukaryotes in the floodplain lakes of the Tocantins‐Araguaia River basin is influenced by a combination of environmental filters and spatial processes. Phylogenetic information from this community highlights the importance of conserving less degraded areas to preserve the evolutionary diversity ...

Limnology and Oceanography, 2020 Documenting the patterns of biological diversity on Earth has always been a central challenge in macroecology and biogeography. However, we are only beginning to generate an understanding of the global patterns and determinants of macrophyte diversity ...

Understanding evolutionary processes during past Quaternary climatic cycles: Can it be applied to the future? [PDF]
, 2010 Climate change affected ecological community make-up during the Quaternary which was probably both the cause of, and was caused by, evolutionary processes such as species evolution, adaptation and extinction of species and ...
