Relative importance of environmental, geographic, and spatial variables on zooplankton metacommunities

Abstract: Abstract. Understanding the factors responsible for structuring ecological communities is a central goal in community ecology. Previous work has focused on determining the relative roles of two classes of variables (e.g., spatial and environmental) on community composition. However, this approach may ignore the disproportionate impact of variables within classes, and is often confounded by spatial autocorrelation leading to collinearity among variables of different classes. Here, we combine pattern-based metac… Show more

“…The first axis of correspondence analysis may strongly represent a dominant underlying species composition gradient when applied to community data (McCune & Grace, 2002;Presley, Higgins & Willig, 2010;Dallas & Drake, 2014). we modelled total and resident dragonfly and damselfly communities in response to the local and landscape environmental variables.…”

“…we modelled total and resident dragonfly and damselfly communities in response to the local and landscape environmental variables. As is standard practice, singleton species were removed prior to the ordination because they exaggerate the distinctiveness of sites (McCune & Grace, 2002;Dallas & Drake, 2014). We used the first axis of a correspondence analysis of the community data as the response variable for each scenario, that is, total and resident species occurrence of dragonflies and damselflies in each location (eight scenarios altogether).…”

“…Conversely, similar to that introduced by Diamond (1975), a metacommunity is considered to have a checkerboard 220 distribution if there are significantly more embedded absences than expected by chance (negative coherence). Finally, a metacommunity is considered to have a random distribution if the number of embedded absences does not differ from null (but see Dallas and Drake (2014) for concerns about interpreting random and Gleasonian patterns). Rather than representing random species occurrence within a metacommunity, random species range distributions more 225 realistically suggests species distributions and environmental drivers are independent of each other.…”

“…Importantly, Dallas and Drake (2014) argued against the assumption of non-significant coherence representing randomly-structured metacommunities. They reason that doing so is to mistakenly assert the null hypothesis and that an inability to distinguish between positive 335 and negative coherence does not necessarily indicate random assembly.…”
