Community Assembly Processes Change With Location and Environmental Distinctiveness in River NetworksNARA Subscribed
Aim Organisms disperse in space, thereby connecting local communities to metacommunities. Dispersal and environmental selection are two community assembly processes ultimately driving biodiversity and potentially scaling to ecosystem functioning. So far, these processes have mainly been generalized to entire metacommunities, ignoring their variability among constituent sites. This limits our understanding of community assembly...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Niche partitioning in a periphyton metacommunity peaks at intermediate species richness in midsized riversNARA Subscribed
The trait‐based partitioning of species plays a critical role in biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships. This niche partitioning drives and depends on community structure, yet this link remains elusive in the context of a metacommunity, where local community assembly is dictated by regional dispersal alongside local environmental conditions. Hence, elucidating the coupling of niche partitioning and community structure n...
Strong large‐scale structure–function coupling in benthic bacteria is mediated by algae in a geodiverse river networkNARA Subscribed
Benthic bacteria in stream ecosystems drive organic matter mineralization. However, knowledge on how this ecosystem function is driven by bacterial community composition in interaction with environmental conditions and organic matter resources is poor. This is especially true when considering the regional scale of river networks, at which environmental conditions vary in a scale‐dependent manner and are spatially structured du...
Movement patterns of juvenile green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) in the San Francisco Bay EstuaryNARA Subscribed
Little is known about the distribution and ecology of juvenile green sturgeon throughout their range and specifically within California’s Central Valley and the San Francisco Bay Estuary. The objective of our study was to identify rearing movement patterns of juvenile green sturgeon and their interaction with Delta and Bay habitats. Acoustic biotelemetry was used to record juvenile movements and residence within different regi...
Seventy five percent of the world's food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence, there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available, we are limited in our capacity to understand the variation in pollination benefits to crop yield, as well as to anticipate changes in this service, develop predictions, and...
ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES : a data set of vascular and non‐vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic ForestNARA Subscribed
Epiphytes are hyper‐diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non‐vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence a...
