Beta diversity along an elevational gradient at the pico da neblina (Brazil): Is spider (arachnida-araneae) community composition congruent with the guayana region elevational zonation?
(2021-12-01)
Beta diversity is usually high along elevational gradients. We studied a spider community at the Pico da Neblina (Brazil), an Amazonian mountain which is one of the southern components of the Guayana region. We sampled six ...
Does fire disturbance affect ant community structure? Insights from spatial co-occurrence networks
(Springer, 2018-12)
The coexistence of several species involves a complex mix of positive and negative interactions that can be represented as networks. As much as other ecological features, patterns of multispecies co-occurrence are susceptible ...
Day vs. night: the importance of the circadian cycle over metacommunities and predator-prey densities
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2016-04-02)
Hypothesizing that assembly of mites diverges between sampling periods, our goal was to verify the relative influence of day and night time, climatic parameters and seasonality on the metacommunities of mites associated ...
Scale dependence of biotic homogenisation by urbanisation: A comparison of urban bird communities between central argentina and northern Finland
(De Gruyter, 2017-12)
Recent studies showed contrasting results about the homogenising force of urbanisation on bird community composition at large and regional scales. We studied whether urbanisation promotes the homogenisation of wintering ...
Bird diversity patterns in Neotropical temperate farmlands: The role of environmental factors and trophic groups in the spring and autumn
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-08)
Productivity, habitat heterogeneity and environmental similarity are of the most widely accepted hypotheses to explain spatial patterns of species richness and species composition similarity. Environmental factors may ...
Patterns of turnover and floristic similarity show a non-random distribution of naturalized flora in Chile, South America
(2008)
The current geographical distribution of alien species could be informative of processes involved in the biological invasions facilitated by humans. Because environmental and anthropic factors affect the geographic ...
Assessing the influence of geographic distance in parasite communities of an exotic lizard
(2016-01-01)
The decay of similarity between biological communities with increasing geographical distance is a well-established pattern in ecology, but there are more complex factors acting on host population connections that influence ...
Drivers of the structure of plant–hummingbird interaction networks at multiple temporal scales
(Springer, 2020-08)
In semi-arid environments, the marked contrast in temperature and precipitation over the year strongly shapes ecological communities. The composition of species and their ecological interactions within a community may vary ...
Lifetime productivity of tree cavities used by cavity‐nesting animals in temperate and subtropical forests
(Ecological Society of America, 2019-05)
Tree cavities are a critical multi-annual resource that can limit populations and structure communities of cavity-nesting vertebrates. We examined the regional and local factors influencing lifetime productivity (number ...
