Freshwater phytoplankton diversity: models, drivers and implications for ecosystem properties
Our understanding on phytoplankton diversity has largely been progressing since the
publication of Hutchinson on the paradox of the plankton. In this paper, we summarise some …

Linking human impacts to community processes in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems
Human impacts such as habitat loss, climate change and biological invasions are radically
altering biodiversity, with greater effects projected into the future. Evidence suggests human …

Environmental heterogeneity determines the ecological processes that govern bacterial metacommunity assembly in a floodplain river system
How diversity is structured has been a central goal of microbial ecology. In freshwater
ecosystems, selection has been found to be the main driver shaping bacterial communities …

Local environmental factors influence beta‐diversity patterns of tropical fish assemblages more than spatial factors
EO López‐Delgado, KO Winemiller… - Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Community assembly processes underlying phytoplankton and bacterioplankton across a hydrologic change in a human-impacted river
Although the influence of microbial community assembly processes on aquatic ecosystem
function and biodiversity is well known, the processes that govern planktonic communities in …

Geographic characteristics and environmental variables determine the diversities and assembly of the algal communities in interconnected river-lake system
Algal blooms in lakes are a major hazard worldwide. Although various geographical and
environmental patterns affect algal communities during river-lake transit, a thorough …

Stochastic and deterministic processes drive wetland community assembly across a gradient of environmental filtering
The role of deterministic and stochastic processes in community assembly is a key question
in community ecology. We evaluated the effect of an abiotic filter (hydroperiod) on the …

Flooding and hydrologic connectivity modulate community assembly in a dynamic river-floodplain ecosystem
Braided river floodplains are highly dynamic ecosystems, where aquatic communities are
strongly regulated by the hydrologic regime. So far, however, understanding of how flow …

Lake regionalization and diatom metacommunity structuring in tropical South America
Lakes and their topological distribution across Earth's surface impose ecological and
evolutionary constraints on aquatic metacommunities. In this study, we group similar lake …
