Our world is becoming increasingly urbanized with a growing human population
concentrated around cities. The expansion of urban areas has important consequences for …

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

Although it is widely known that dams can have large impacts on the environmental and
biological characteristics of downstream rivers, there is a substantial lack of studies focusing …

Habitat structure and predation are major factors that influence the distribution of
zooplankton species and functional traits. Here, we analyzed how the structure provided by …

Understanding ecological processes that drive metacommunity dynamics is essential for
elucidating the mechanisms of community assembly and for guiding biodiversity …

Information is scarce on how environmental and dispersal processes interact with biological
features of the organisms, such as their habitat affinity, to influence patterns in biodiversity …

Despite the study of subterranean biodiversity facing harsh sampling and map**
challenges, the huge diversity of taxa, ecological adaptations and evolutionary trajectories in …

Stormwater ponds are beneficial to urban landscapes because these man-made systems
can reduce the negative effects of flooding in urban areas and restrain the distribution of …

A multi-faceted approach is needed to better understand how the beta diversity of aquatic
assemblages responds to ecological gradients. Using distance-based RDA and variance …

Understanding how the spatial arrangement of remnant green spaces in cities complements
biodiversity provides an opportunity for synergy between urban development and biological …
