Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

We summarized landscape approaches used in the study of freshwater ecosystems,
updated recent literature reviews on interactions between terrestrial and lotic ecosystems …

Feeding strategies are typical traits reflecting the adaptation of species to environmental
conditions. This concept is currently developed in some water quality systems (eg Index of …

The assumption that restoring physical habitat heterogeneity will increase biodiversity
underlies many river restoration projects, despite few tests of the hypothesis. With over 6,000 …

Rapid urbanization throughout the world is expected to cause extensive loss of biodiversity

The use of spatial variables is a common procedure in ecological studies. The technique is
based on the definition of a connectivity/distance matrix that conceptually defines the …

Abstract Theory predicts that different components of species diversity should increase with
environmental heterogeneity. Our main aim was to examine the relationship between β …

Context dependency is an emerging topic that is challenging our understanding of the
