While the sentinel nature of freshwater systems is now well recognized, widespread
integration of freshwater processes and patterns into our understanding of broader climate …

Given the major ecological and evolutionary role of dispersal abilities for organisms, as well
as the current interest in species' potential for further migration and colonization as a result …

A central focus of ecology and biogeography is to determine the factors that govern spatial
variation in biodiversity. Here, we examined patterns of ant diversity along climatic gradients …

Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are tightly linked through the fluxes of organisms and
matter. However, aquatic and terrestrial ecologists have mainly studied these ecosystems …

Abstract Models applying space‐for‐time substitution, including those projecting ecological
responses to climate change, generally assume an elevational and latitudinal equivalence …

Arctic freshwaters are facing multiple environmental pressures, including rapid climate
change and increasing land___use activities. Freshwater plankton assemblages are …

Understanding what drives biodiversity patterns across scales is a central goal of ecology.
Both environmental gradients and spatial landscape structure have been found to be …

Aim We tested the energy and metabolic theories for explaining diversity patterns of
crustacean zooplankton in C anadian lakes, and evaluated the influence of regional and …

Zooplankton community composition of northern lakes is changing due to the interactive
effects of climate change and recovery from acidification, yet limited data are available to …

Community assembly depends on dispersal, environmental parameters and species
interactions. Here, we compared rotifer communities from two environmentally distinct, but …
