Biodiversity in metacommunities: Plankton as complex adaptive systems? (2004, background): “Exactly how the regional trait distribution is regulated is an interesting question in its own right but is relatively understudied (Amarasekare and Nisbet 2001; Mouquet and Loreau 2003).”
Control of stream insect assemblages: roles of spatial configuration and local environmental factors (2008, background): “Regional and local control of community structure, particularly in a metacommunity context, has received much theoretical interest recently ( Mouquet & Loreau, 2003; Leibold et al. , 2004 ), and some studies have been conducted in either experimental ( Forbes & Chase, 2002; Kneitel & Miller, 2003 )…”
Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? (2017, background): “variation or turnover in the community structure (118, 119), which is referred to as homogenizing dispersal (37, 109).”
Pervasive effects of dispersal limitation on within- and among-community species richness in agricultural landscapes (2009, background): “ Mouquet & Loreau, 2003; Leibold et al ., 2004; Cadotte, 2006; Mouquet et al ., 2006), there are still few empirical field studies which compare dispersalmediated species diversity at different spatial scales.”
Metacommunity diversity depends on connectivity and patch arrangement in heterogeneous habitat networks (2011, background): “The effects of fragmentation on diversity, independent of habitat loss, are thought to be mainly related to increased edge effects (Murcia 1995, Didham et al. 1998, Ewers et al. 2007), which can both diminish and enhance habitat quality (Cadenasso et al. 1997), depending upon the spatial…”
Are niche‐based species distribution models transferable in space? (2006, background): “In addition, landscape-scale population dynamic processes, such as mass effects and source–sink dynamics (Dias, 1996; Pulliam, 2000; Mouquet & Loreau, 2002, 2003 ), can inflate realized niches where species are abundant, whereas other processes, such as Allee effects, may shrink them where species ”
DIVERSITY–PRODUCTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS IN STREAMS VARY AS A FUNCTION OF THE NATURAL DISTURBANCE REGIME (2005, background): “…has been outlined in recent theoretical developments that suggest the processes of dispersal and colonization can generate local relationships between species diversity and productivity that reflect larger scale patterns (Loreau et al. 2003, Mouquet and Loreau 2003, Cardinale et al. 2004).”
Metacommunity organisation, spatial extent and dispersal in aquatic systems: patterns, processes and prospects (2015, neutral): “Under mass effects, excessive dispersal dampens the influence of local environmental conditions (e.g. Mouquet & Loreau, 2003).”
Dispersal and diversity in experimental metacommunities: linking theory and practice (2016, background): “For example, theory predicts that local diversity will be low when connectivity is insufficient to get all species to all appropriate patches, and high when connectivity is sufficient for mass effects to subsidize local diversity (Mouquet and Loreau 2003).”
Ecological drivers of multiple facets of beta diversity in a lentic macroinvertebrate metacommunity (2017, background): “It is possible that spatial autocorrelation is related to effects of dispersal limitation (Hubbell 2001) or mass effects (Mouquet and Loreau 2003) on community composition between lakes (Heino 2013).”
Integrating dispersal proxies in ecological and environmental research in the freshwater realm (2017, background): “For instance, in mass effects, very high dispersal from 64 ‘source’ populations may produce a constant flow of migrants that guarantees the 65 maintenance of populations in unsuitable or ‘sink’ localities (Pulliam 1988), thus interfering 66 with local environmental control (Mouquet and Loreau 2003).”
Integrating environmental and spatial processes in ecological community dynamics. (2005, background): “Increasing dispersal in heterogeneous environments will result in local populations being quantitatively affected by dispersal through source–sink relations, independent of resource gradients (ME; Holt 1993; Mouquet & Loreau 2002, 2003).”
Contrasting responses of arable spiders to the landscape matrix at different spatial scales (2007, background): “This mechanism is called the mass effect in the framework of metacommunity theory (Amarasekare & Nisbet, 2001; Mouquet & Loreau, 2003).”
