An experimental test on the effects of dispersal from different habitat sources on community structure Open
Biological interactions, disturbances, and demographic stochasticity often drive population declines and local extinctions. Dispersal can counterbalance these drivers by rescuing small populations or facilitating recolonization. Using fres…

Landscape connectivity and genetic structure of animal populations in urban ponds Open
Animal populations in urban landscapes tend to have lower genetic diversity and higher genetic differentiation than those in rural landscapes. The extent of these effects can be influenced by the dispersal rates of the organisms and the co…

Navigating the spatial and temporal aspects of beta diversity to facilitate understanding biodiversity change Open
Beta diversity is often assessed at different spatial and temporal scales and, consequently, has been defined in multiple ways. Here, we define four unique aspects of beta diversity that encompass the diverse applications of this concept i…

Disentangling the Influence of Phylogeny and Traits on Climatic Risk of European Butterflies Open
Aim The relative importance of traits and phylogeny to predict species extinction risk is unclear and it depends on which traits are measured and their phylogenetic conservatism. Here, we evaluate the power of functional traits, ecological…

Species-genetic diversity correlation in a metacommunity of urban pond invertebrates Open
Understanding patterns of species-genetic diversity correlations (SGDC) is important for conservation purposes because it allows us to infer whether conservation of species diversity (SD) influences conservation of genetic diversity (GD) a…

Analysing the contribution of intermittent rivers to beta diversity can improve freshwater conservation in Mediterranean rivers Open
In Mediterranean climate regions, intermittent rivers (IRs) harbor highly dynamic communities with species and trait composition changing over time and space. Simultaneously considering multiple biodiversity facets and a spatiotemporal per…

Disentangling drivers of temporal changes in urban pond macroinvertebrate diversity Open
Ponds are key elements for ecosystem functions in urban areas. However, little is known about pond biodiversity changes over time and the drivers underlying such changes. Here, we tested whether past species assemblages, land cover and pon…

Environmental DNA and biodiversity patterns: a call for a community phylogenetics approach Open
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a relatively new technology allowing effective non-invasive analyses and monitoring of biodiversity patterns. Studies on eDNA metabarcoding focus on using sequence data to delimit basic units (i.e.…

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SPATIAL FACTORS ARE POOR PREDICTORS OF FISH BETA DIVERSITY IN CERRADO STREAMS Open
Beta diversity, the spatial or temporal variation in community structure, is a central themein community ecology. In this study, we evaluated the explanatory power of environmental and spatialvariables in predicting fish beta diversity. Us…

Data and script: Reduced enumeration effort, but not coarse taxonomic resolution, is sufficient to represent beta diversity patterns of stream benthic diatoms Open
This is a dataset on benthic diatom communities sampled in 90 riffles (the local communities) within nine near-pristine subtropical streams (each stream represented a metacommunity) in southeast subtropical Brazil. In addition to the datas…

Cross-Taxon Congruence of Taxonomic and Functional Beta-Diversity Facets Across Spatial and Temporal Scales Open
An intensively debated issue in ecology is whether the variations in the biodiversity patterns of different biological groups are congruent in space and time. In addition, ecologists have recognized the necessity of accounting for both tax…

The importance of blue and green landscape connectivity for biodiversity in urban ponds Open
The negative impact of urbanization on biodiversity can be buffered by blue (e.g., rivers, ponds) and green (e.g., parks, forests) spaces. However, to prevent biodiversity loss and reduce the risk of local extinctions, blue and green space…
