Scaling‐up biodiversity‐ecosystem functioning research
A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …

Characteristics, main impacts, and stewardship of natural and artificial freshwater environments: consequences for biodiversity conservation
In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

Beta diversity of diatom species and ecological guilds: Response to environmental and spatial mechanisms along the stream watercourse
Understanding the mechanisms that drive beta diversity (ie β‐diversity), an important aspect
of regional biodiversity, remains a priority for ecological research. β‐diversity and its …
