Climatic fluctuations can play a crucial role in shaping large‐scale patterns of biodiversity and biogeography. This study examines how climatic gradients and their variability influence family‐level temporal ecological processes that govern the balance between stochastic and deterministic processes that underlie community dynamics of riverine insects. This comparison, done across multiple continents but mostly in the Northern...

Aim Growing evidence suggests that, in addition to taxonomic diversity, examining functional and phylogenetic diversity offers distinct yet complementary insights into the spatial and temporal patterns of biodiversity and their driving mechanisms. Here, using a data set comprising 40 years (comparisons of 1984–1995 vs. 2010–2024), we examined spatial and temporal patterns of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic alpha and bet...
