Dispersal is a major determinant of connectivity between communities that may modulate
the importance of environmental and spatial processes on taxonomic composition. While …

Directional dispersal by wind and other dispersal agents may generate spatial patterns in
passively dispersing metacommunities which cannot be detected by classical eigenvector …

Despite an upsurge of interest in spatial interactions between communities and in the impact
of dispersal on ecological and evolutionary processes, dispersal patterns and dynamics in …

Disentangling the effects of dispersal mode on the environmental and spatial processes
structuring biological assemblages is essential to understanding the mechanisms of species …

Aim To assess the relative importance of wind intensity and direction in explaining wetland
invertebrate metacommunity organization. Location Seventy‐eight wetland ponds in …

Dispersal limitation is an important element of metacommunity dynamics, but measuring
dispersal is complicated because many communities are composed of species that vary in …

Despite the importance of dispersal to ecology, accurate estimates of dispersal rates are
often difficult to obtain, especially for organisms that rely on passive dispersal of propagules …

The spatial distribution of suitable habitats and dispersal abilities of the constituent taxa
jointly affect the structure of metacommunities in standing freshwaters. Most studies …

Taxon-specific dispersal ability can affect community composition, but little is known about
how it influences metacommunity dynamics, particularly for taxa with large ontogenetic …

The diversity of species on a landscape is a function of the relative contribution of diversity at
local sites and species turnover between sites. Diversity partitioning refers to the relative …
