Despite its well-established negative impacts on society and biodiversity, eutrophication
continues to be one of the most pervasive anthropogenic influences along the freshwater to …

Dispersal has a key role in sha** spatial patterns of biodiversity, yet its spatial
heterogeneity is often overlooked in biodiversity analyses and management strategies …

Dispersal is a main determinant of community assembly. Landscape configurations of rivers,
lakes, or ponds are often independently considered in this framework. However, these …

The spatial isolation gradient of communities and the gradient in the species dispersal ability
are recognized as determinants of biodiversity in metacommunities. In spite of this, mean …

Habitat loss and fragmentation are growing global threats to natural habitats and their
networks, posing significant challenges to biodiversity conservation. Globally, ponds are …

Understanding the capacity of ecological systems to withstand and recover from
disturbances is a major challenge for ecological research in the context of environmental …

Background Wildfires have strong impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, whose
frequency, severity, and intensity are increasing with climate change. Moreover, the …

Questions Marine rocky outcrops are model systems of community assembly under harsh
conditions. The prevailing environmental conditions that determine a coast–inland gradient …

The application of graph theory to metacommunity ecology allows a deeper analysis of the
effect of network structure on diversity patterns. Here, we set out to test the role of network …

Freshwater ecosystems face significant threats, including pollution, habitat loss, invasive
species, and climate change. To address these challenges, management strategies and …
