Abstract: It is generally recognized that dispersal mode can affect the relative role of environmental and spatial factors in structuring biotic communities. Disentangling the effects of dispersal mode on metacommunity structuring is essential to understanding the… read more here.

Abstract: 1. Dispersal is fundamental to ecological processes at all scales and levels of organisation but progress is limited by a lack of information about the general shape and form of plant dispersal kernels. We addressed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0172160
Abstract: Metacommunity ecology recognizes the interplay between local and regional patterns in contributing to spatial variation in community structure. In aquatic systems, the relative importance of such patterns depends mainly on the potential connectivity of the… read more here.
