Broad-scale studies of species distributions and diversity have contributed to the emergence
of general macroecological rules. These rules are typically founded on research using well …

The construction of dams has caused riparian habitat degradation and ecosystem service
loss globally. It is critical to assess the response of riparian plant communities to inundation …

Aim Meta‐community structure is a function of both local (site‐specific) and regional
(landscape‐level) ecological factors, and the relative importance of each may be mediated …

Quantifying the relative importance of how local (environmental or niche‐based) and
regional (dispersal‐related or spatial) processes regulate the assembly of communities has …

Aim Metacommunity assembly mechanisms have been traditionally considered stable
through time. However, in highly dynamic systems with varying local environmental …

Inter-basin water transfer is an effective manner to achieve the optimal allocation of water
resources, while accompanied by some ecological effects. The responses of …

A more profound comprehension of various facets of biodiversity is essential for advancing
sustainable governance of biodiversity and its associated ecosystem services. In this study …

The widespread decline of biodiversity due to increasing urban development raises the
need to timely identify areas most relevant to the conservation of native species, particularly …

Flow regimes are fundamental to sustaining ecological characteristics of rivers worldwide,
including their associated floodplains. Recent advances in understanding tropical river …

Though being fundamental to global diversity distribution, little is known about the
geographic pattern of soil microorganisms across different biotas on a large scale. Here, we …
