Abstract:Niche and dispersal‐based processes govern freshwater communities, such as aquatic insects, shaping their distribution and establishment in the environment. So, we aimed to address the relative influence of niche and dispersal‐based processes on Odonata diversity in Amazonian freshwater systems, and the influence of species dispersal functional traits on their longitudinal and latitudinal ranges.
We used the Dispersal‐Niche Continuum Index (DNCI) to test (i) regions more distant would present a prevalence of d… Show more
