Eutrophication alters the trophic dynamics in lakes and may result in biotic homogenization.
How nutrient enrichment drives patterns of taxonomic and functional (ie, trait‐based) …

The Amazon forests are under threat from multiple human land uses, but the effect of the
different types of land uses on environmental heterogeneity and the α-and β-diversity of …

Although metacommunity dynamics of lentic phytoplankton are relatively well-documented,
studies on the role of environmental and spatial processes in shaping phytoplankton …

Eutrophication is one of the most widespread causes of biotic homogenization in freshwater
ecosystems. Biotic homogenization can be characterized as reductions in local diversity …

Ecological uniqueness is one aspect of beta (β) diversity that shows the relative contribution
of sites (local contribution to beta diversity–LCBD) and taxa (species contribution to beta …

Studies about beta diversity and environmental heterogeneity have shown that the strength
of the environmental filtering effect may decrease with the increasing scale. These empirical …

Context Global change, including land-use change and habitat degradation, has led to a
decline in biodiversity, more so in freshwater than in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the …

Biodiversity changes in response to eutrophication, climate variability and species
invasions. These pressures have been shown to reduce community heterogeneity at various …

Community variation (ie, beta diversity) along geographical gradients is a well-known
ecological pattern, but the corresponding variation in beta diversity components (eg, species …

In this study, we made an inventory of the stream and headwater ichthyofauna of the left
bank of the Itaipu Dam Reservoir, located in the lower part of the Upper Paraná River basin …
