Beta diversity represents the spatial or temporal variation of species diversity among
sampling sites and may be composed of two elements: turnover (Brepl, replacement of …

Background The drastic change in an ecosystem as a threshold phenomenon caused by
abrupt changes in environmental conditions is a focus of current ecological research …

We carried out a literature review to investigate the taxonomic and functional β diversity of
zooplankton and its species replacement (βrepl) and richness difference (βrich) components …

The study of beta diversity patterns, as well as their underlying mechanisms, is fundamental
for the understanding of community structure in aquatic ecosystems. Here, we aimed to …

Kellicottia bostoniensis is a North American limnetic zooplankter and the single rotifer
species within the group of 163 non-native species recorded in Brazilian inland waters by …

Aim Our objective was to describe the structure and spatial patterns of the zooplankton
community in a small Brazilian river system (Paranaíba River sub-basin) and evaluate the …

The stability of the river ecosystem can determine the health status of the river. And
evolutionary driving forces of river ecosystem can reflect the useful information that the river …

The unique environmental characteristics of the tropics and subtropics, including
precipitation patterns, photoperiods and temperatures, can influence riverine zooplankton …

The state of Maranho, northeast Brazil, has four different biomes. The water bodies in
Maranho belongs to three hydrographic regions. Thus, the state potentially contributes to a …

The comprehension of the ecological structure and the functioning of natural and/or
impacted lotic ecosystems is the purpose of most studies concerning rivers and streams …
