The Monopolization Hypothesis and the dispersal–gene flow paradox in aquatic organisms

L De Meester, A Gómez, B Okamura, K Schwenk - Acta oecologica, 2002 - Elsevier
Many aquatic organisms rely on passive transport of resting stages for their dispersal. In this
review, we provide evidence pointing to the high dispersal capacity of both animals …

Species–energy relationships at the macroecological scale: a review of the mechanisms

KL Evans, PH Warren, KJ Gaston - Biological Reviews, 2005 - cambridge.org
Correlations between the amount of energy received by an assemblage and the number of
species that it contains are very general, and at the macro-scale such species–energy …

Biotic wetland connectivity—supporting a new approach for wetland policy

JM Amezaga, L Santamaría, AJ Green - Acta oecologica, 2002 - Elsevier
Wetlands are key habitats connected physically and socially with processes occurring over a
much wider territory. The biotic connection through dispersal mechanisms among wetlands …

High dispersal capacity of a broad spectrum of aquatic invertebrates via waterbirds

D Frisch, AJ Green, J Figuerola - Aquatic Sciences, 2007 - Springer
Speculation about the role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic invertebrates pre-dates
Darwin. However, there is a critical shortage of field studies quantifying such dispersal. We …

Assembly mechanisms determining high species turnover in aquatic communities over regional and continental scales

DS Viana, J Figuerola, K Schwenk, M Manca… - …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Niche and neutral processes drive community assembly and metacommunity dynamics, but
their relative importance might vary with the spatial scale. The contribution of niche …

[PDF][PDF] Pond or lake: does it make any difference?

M Søndergaard, E Jeppesen, JP Jensen - Archiv für Hydrobiologie, 2005 - academia.edu
To investigate the importance of lake size, we analysed the chemical and biological
characteristics of nearly 800 Danish lakes ranging from 0.01 to 4200 ha. Most of the lakes …

Extrinsic and intrinsic controls of zooplankton diversity in lakes

What is the form of the productivity–animal‐species‐richness relationship? A critical review and meta‐analysis

J Cusens, SD Wright, PD McBride, LN Gillman - Ecology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The nature of the relationship between productivity and species richness has remained
controversial for at least two decades. Recently authors have favored the suggestion that the …

Waterbirds as endozoochorous dispersers of aquatic organisms: a review of experimental evidence

I Charalambidou, L Santamaría - Acta Oecologica, 2002 - Elsevier
It is commonly assumed that waterbirds act as dispersal vectors of aquatic organisms. In this
paper we review experimental work focusing on the endozoochorous transport of …
