Abstract: Describing how communities change over space and time is crucial to better understand and predict the functioning of ecosystems. We propose a new methodological framework, based on network theory and modularity concept, to determine which… read more here.

Abstract: Deciphering the effect of neutral and deterministic processes on community assembly is critical to understand and predict diversity patterns. The information held in community trait distributions is commonly assumed as a signature of these processes,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16737
Abstract: Environmental filtering is often found to dominate assembly rules in diatoms. These microalgae are diverse, especially at subspecies level, and tend to exhibit a niche phylogenetic conservatism. Therefore, other rules, such as competition or mass… read more here.

Assembly rules in a resource gradient: Competition and abiotic filtering determine the structuring of plant communities in stressful environments

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0230097
Abstract: The relative importance of different community assembly mechanisms varies depending on the environment. According to the stress-dominance hypothesis (SDH), assembly mechanisms range from strong abiotic filtering to competition as the environment becomes more favourable. Most… read more here.
