Metacommunities in river networks: The importance of network structure and connectivity on patterns and processes
Funding information Swiss National Science Foundation, Grant/ Award Number: PP00P3_150698; Academy of Finland Abstract 1. Rivers are spatially organised into hierarchic dendritic networks. This unique physical structure and the associated directionality of physical flows set them apart from most other environments by regulating the dispersal of resident biota and therefore the distribution of b...
متن کاملDendritic connectivity controls biodiversity patterns in experimental metacommunities.
Biological communities often occur in spatially structured habitats where connectivity directly affects dispersal and metacommunity processes. Recent theoretical work suggests that dispersal constrained by the connectivity of specific habitat structures, such as dendrites like river networks, can explain observed features of biodiversity, but direct evidence is still lacking. We experimentally ...
متن کاملNetwork isolation and local diversity in neutral metacommunities
Biologists seek an understanding of the biological and environmental factors determining local community diversity. Recent advances in metacommunity ecology, and neutral theory in particular, highlight the importance of dispersal processes interacting with the spatial structure of a landscape for generating spatial patterns and maintaining biodiversity. The relative spatial isolation of a commu...
متن کاملDispersal Ability Determines the Role of Environmental, Spatial and Temporal Drivers of Metacommunity Structure
Recently, community ecologists are focusing on the relative importance of local environmental factors and proxies to dispersal limitation to explain spatial variation in community structure. Albeit less explored, temporal processes may also be important in explaining species composition variation in metacommunities occupying dynamic systems. We aimed to evaluate the relative role of environment...
متن کاملDispersal patterns of endogenous bacteria among grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) guts
The formation and regulation of vertebrate endogenous intestinal microbiota has been widely studied as the microbiota plays a crucial role in the host nutrition, development, and health. Despite the importance of microbiota for host health, it is still unclear whether the endogenous intestinal microorganisms are genetically distinct or whether they are genetically related with each other in dif...
