Globally, winter temperatures are rising, and snowpack is shrinking or disappearing entirely.
Despite previous research and published literature reviews, it remains unknown whether …

Temporary lentic wetlands are becoming increasingly recognised for their collective role in
contributing to biodiversity at the landscape scale. In southern Africa, a region with a high …

Understanding global ecological patterns and processes, from biogeochemical to
biogeographical, requires broad‐scale macrosystems context for comparing and contrasting …

Climate change is rapidly driving global biodiversity declines. How wetland
macroinvertebrate assemblages are responding is unclear, a concern given their vital …

Along with the global decline of species richness goes a loss of ecological traits. Associated
biotic homogenization of animal communities and narrowing of trait diversity threaten …

Understanding the spatial patterns and environmental drivers of freshwater diversity and
community structure is a key challenge in biogeography and conservation biology. However …

Land‐use change is a major driver of the global loss of biodiversity, but it is unclear to what
extent this also results in a loss of ecological traits. Therefore, a better understanding of how …

Fauna and flora of temporary ponds, including those of the Mediterranean areas (eg,
Gurney, 1909; Ghigi, 1921; Gauthier, 1928; Braun-Blanquet, 1936; Yaron, 1964) have been …

It has been predicted that spatial beta diversity shows a decreasing trend in the
Anthropocene due to increasing human impact, causing biotic homogenisation. We aimed to …

Mediterranean temporary ponds are present in five biogeographical regions, which are
characterized by hot dry summers and cool mild winters. These ponds host high levels of …
