The joint contributions of environmental filtering and spatial processes to macroinvertebrate metacommunity dynamics in the alpine stream environment of Baima Snow Mountain, Southwest China
Abstract:As a rapidly growing field of community ecology, the study of
meta-communities provides an effective framework to unravel community
assembly mechanisms by focusing on the relative contributions of
environmental screening and spatial processes. While macroinvertebrates
have been extensively investigated in many river ecosystems,
meta-community ecology perspectives in high mountain stream networks are
very limited. In this study, we assessed the role of ecological
determinants and temporal dynamics in the macroi… Show more
