Empirical approaches to metacommunities: a review and comparison with theory
Metacommunity theory has advanced understanding of how spatial dynamics and local
interactions shape community structure and biodiversity. Here, we review empirical …

Meta-ecosystems 2.0: rooting the theory into the field
The meta-ecosystem framework demonstrates the significance of among-ecosystem spatial
flows for ecosystem dynamics and has fostered a rich body of theory. The high level of …

A road map for integrating eco‐evolutionary processes into biodiversity models
The demand for projections of the future distribution of biodiversity has triggered an upsurge
in modelling at the crossroads between ecology and evolution. Despite the enthusiasm …

Toward more integrated ecosystem research in aquatic and terrestrial environments
Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are tightly linked through the fluxes of organisms and
matter. However, aquatic and terrestrial ecologists have mainly studied these ecosystems …

Towards a multi‐trophic extension of metacommunity ecology
Metacommunity theory provides an understanding of how spatial processes determine the
structure and function of communities at local and regional scales. Although metacommunity …

Dynamics of coastal meta‐ecosystems: the intermittent upwelling hypothesis and a test in rocky intertidal regions
The intermittent upwelling hypothesis (IUH) predicts that the strength of ecological subsidies,
organismal growth responses, and species interactions will vary unimodally along a …

Extending the concept of keystone species to communities and ecosystems
Keystone species are defined as having disproportionate importance in their community.
This concept has proved useful and is now often used in conservation ecology. Here, we …
