15 lake islands and two mainland sites of Mamry lake in Poland were sampled to investigate
community structures and patterns of co‐occurrences of ground beetles (Carabidae). The …

It is often suggested that habitat attributes and interspecific interactions can cause non-
random species co-occurrence patterns, but quantifying their contributions can be difficult …

In order to study the influence of dispersal ability on community structure of ground beetles
(carabidae), 15 lake islands and 2 mainland sites of the lake Mamry archipelago, northern …

Aim To examine temporal variation in nestedness and whether nestedness patterns predict
colonization, extinction and turnover across islands and species. Location Dahlak …

Aim Nestedness occurs when species present in depauperate sites are subsets of those
found in species‐rich sites. The degree of congruence of site nestedness among different …

Geographical gradients of patterns of species associations in ecological communities are
largely unknown. Previous evidence indicated nested community assembly—caused mainly …

The correlated processes of habitat loss and fragmentation are considered the most serious
threats to biodiversity and the primary cause for the current extinction crisis. The overall …

Species conservation depends on accurate data, but for many lichens existing collections
are geographically biased and contain many taxonomic errors. It is unclear whether 'non …

Résumé Plusieurs contraintes peuvent entraver le suivi à large échelle nécessaire à
l'évaluation et à la mise en place de mesures pour atténuer la perte de biodiversité …

A central tenet of the competition paradigm is that community structure is governed by
deterministic rules. The competition paradigm pervades nearly all subdisciplines and …
