Until the 1990s, herbivory on aquatic vascular plants was considered to be of minor
importance, and the predominant view was that freshwater and marine macrophytes did not …

Broad-scale studies of species distributions and diversity have contributed to the emergence
of general macroecological rules. These rules are typically founded on research using well …

Niche and neutral processes drive community assembly and metacommunity dynamics, but
their relative importance might vary with the spatial scale. The contribution of niche …

We studied community–environment relationships of lake macrophytes at two
metacommunity scales using data from 16 regions across the world. More specifically, we …

Aim Conserving freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing world requires updated
planning schemes and research efforts. Geodiversity–the diversity of Earth surface forms …

Lakes and their topological distribution across Earth's surface impose ecological and
evolutionary constraints on aquatic metacommunities. In this study, we group similar lake …

Patterns that maintain and generate biodiversity of macro‐organisms in the Neotropics are
widely discussed in the scientific literature, yet the spatial ecology of micro‐organisms is …

The performance of species richness estimators can be highly variable. Evaluating the
accuracy and precision of different estimators for different assemblages is common in the …

Inlay Lake is the second largest natural lake in Myanmar. Located in Shan State, in the
eastern part of the country, it is a known biodiversity hotspot. The lake is negatively affected …

The island species–area relationship (ISAR) describes how the numbers of species
increases with increasing size of an island (or island‐like habitat, such as lakes), and is one …
