Abstract: Abstract Niche-based species distribution models (SDMs) have become an essential tool in conservation and restoration planning. Given the current threats to freshwater biodiversity, it is of fundamental importance to address scale effects on the performance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/fwb.12857
Abstract: Summary The metacommunity framework has shed light upon the significance of local and regional processes in shaping ecological communities. However, our knowledge is limited how landscape context (i.e. type and positioning of habitats) influences the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.03969
Abstract: Niche-based selection and stochastic processes can operate simultaneously to generate spatial and temporal variation in species composition. Yet, the conditions under which ecological dynamics are dominated by niche-based versus stochastic processes are poorly understood. Using… read more here.

DOI: 10.3354/ame01824
Abstract: The Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study site provided an opportunity to study bacterial community assembly processes at 2 different depths, the surface and 200 m, in the upper mesopelagic, just below the euphotic zone. Over 100… read more here.
