Urbanization drastically alters landscapes in ways that can threaten local biodiversity.
Although species loss has been well documented in urban habitats, why some species …

The impact of multitrophic interactions on metacommunity structure, despite extensive theory
and modeling/manipulative studies, has remained largely unexplored within naturally …

Aim Species interactions are predicted to become stronger toward low latitudes and
elevations, and these predictions have been supported in large experiments measuring …

Under a metacommunity framework, the spatial configuration of habitat fragments could
determine local community structure. Yet, quantifying fragment connectivity is challenging …

Species interact with the physical world in complex ways, and life‐history strategies could
cause species to differ in how they experience the connectedness of the same landscape …

Increased global temperatures caused by climate change are causing species to shift their
ranges and colonize new sites, creating novel assemblages that have historically not …

Dispersal contributes vitally to metacommunity structure. However, interactions between
dispersal and other key processes have rarely been explored, particularly in the context of …

1. Determining which environmental traits enable animals to inhabit and choose preferred
habitats is key to understanding ecological processes. Habitat complexity and background …

Due to global land surface warming, severe temperature events are expected to occur more
frequently and more extremely causing changes in biodiversity and altering movement and …

In metacommunities, diversity is the product of species interactions at the local scale and
dispersal between habitat patches at the regional scale. Although warming can alter both …
