Peer Review #2 of "Spatial and temporal variations of aridity shape dung beetle assemblages towards the Sahara desert (v0.1)"
Abstract:Background. Assemblage responses to environmental gradients are key to understand the general principles behind the assembly and functioning of communities. The spatial and temporally uneven distribution of water availability in drylands creates strong aridity gradients. While the effects of spatial variations of aridity are relatively well known, the influence of the highly-unpredictable seasonal and interannual precipitations on dryland communities has been seldom addressed. Aims. Here we study the seasonal … Show more
