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 …

Beta diversity modelling has received increased interest recently. There are multiple
definitions of beta diversity, but here, we focus on variability in species composition among …

Eutrophication of inland waters is a mostly anthropogenic phenomenon impacting aquatic
biodiversity worldwide, and might change biotic community structure and ecosystem …

Documenting trends of stream macroinvertebrate biodiversity is challenging because
biomonitoring often has limited spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scopes. We analyzed …

Recently, community ecologists are focusing on the relative importance of local
environmental factors and proxies to dispersal limitation to explain spatial variation in …

A major goal in ecology is to understand mechanisms that influence patterns of biodiversity
and community assembly at various spatial and temporal scales. Understanding how …

Eutrophication is a major problem currently impacting many surface water ecosystems.
Impacts of increased nutrient concentrations on biodiversity may differ between different …

The hypotheses that beta diversity should increase with decreasing latitude and increase
with spatial extent of a region have rarely been tested based on a comparative analysis of …

Eutrophication has become one of the most widespread anthropogenic forces impacting
freshwater biological diversity. One potentially important mechanism driving biodiversity …

Freshwater ecosystems harbour a disproportionately high biodiversity relative to their area,
being also one of the most threatened ecosystem types worldwide. However, our capacity to …
