Despite its importance for the long-term viability of populations and functioning of
ecosystems, the genetic diversity of populations is seldom given explicit consideration in …

Genetic diversity is estimated to be declining faster than species diversity under escalating
threats, but its spatial distribution remains poorly documented at the global scale. Theory …

Abstract Background MacArthur and Wilson's theory of island biogeography has been a
foundation for obtaining testable predictions from models of community assembly and for …

Aim Our goal was to use eDNA metabarcoding to characterize fish community diversity,
detect aquatic invasive species (AIS) and assess how measures of community (or AIS) …

Although metacommunity ecology has been a major field of research in the last decades,
with both conceptual and empirical outputs, the analysis of the temporal dynamics of …

Community genetics aims at understanding how within‐species variation, species diversity
and environmental factors interact to shape community assembly. An approach that …

Understanding patterns of diversity across macro (eg species‐level) and micro (eg
molecular‐level) scales can shed light on community function and stability by elucidating the …

Species‐genetic diversity correlations (SGDCs) have been investigated over a large spectra
of organisms, which has greatly improved our understanding of parallel processes …

Spatial patterns of biological diversity have been extensively studied in ecology and
population genetics, because they reflect the forces acting on biodiversity. A growing …

Variations of biodiversity levels are not always independent in the ecological processes
driving community assembly. Recently, SGDC (Species–genetic diversity correlation) has …
