A macroecological perspective of diversity patterns in the freshwater realm (2011, background): “This is what was actually suggested for pond zooplankton communities that were structured by both spatial location and environmental conditions (Cottenie et al., 2003), and for pond phytoplankton communities that were structured by environmental variables (Vanormelingen et al.”
The relative importance of dispersal and local processes in structuring phytoplankton communities in a set of highly interconnected ponds (2008, background): “calanoid copepod and rotifer densities and ciliate biovolumes (Cottenie et al., 2003).”
Review: Toward management of urban ponds for freshwater biodiversity (2019, background): “For natural or rural ponds, the landscape-scale environmental factors are of central importance for pond biodiversity (Cottenie et al. 2003, Jeffries 2005, Hill 2018) for several reasons.”
Environmental correlates of plant and invertebrate species richness in ponds (2011, background): “In particular, the connectivity of the landscape and the resulting flow of propagules into a given pond can decouple environment-community relationships (Chase and Ryberg 2004; Cottenie et al. 2003).”
Species richness of crustacean zooplankton and trophic structure of brackish lagoons in contrasting climate zones: north temperate Denmark and Mediterranean Catalonia (Spain) (2009, background): “Regional factors such as variation in dispersal and connectivity may also play a role (Cottenie et al. 2003).”
Patterns of composition and species richness of crustaceans and aquatic insects along environmental gradients in Mediterranean water bodies (2008, background): “Wellborn et al., 1996), connectivity (e.g., Cottenie et al., 2003 ), pond size (e.g.”
The role of metacommunity processes in shaping invertebrate rock pool communities along a dispersal gradient (2007, background): “This rather weak relationship can be attributed to the fact that, in contrast to the study by Cottenie et al. (2003), overflows are only effective during a short period immediately after heavy rains, resulting in a lower number of dispersing propagules.”
Metapopulations and metacommunities: combining spatial and temporal perspectives in plant ecology (2012, background): “Classic metapopulation examples include butterflies in meadows (Thomas & Hanski 2004; Hanski 2010), while empirical applications of metacommunity ideas are common in freshwater ecology (Cottenie et al. 2003; Leibold, Economo&Peres-Neto 2010;Winemiller, Flecker & Hoeinghaus 2010).”
Relative importance of different dispersal vectors for small aquatic invertebrates in a rock pool metacommunity (2008, background): “Cottenie et al. (2003) found that, in a connected pond system, dispersal could lead to homogenisation of the interacting communities.”
Community Patterns in Source‐Sink Metacommunities (2003, background): “In another recent study, using data on 34 neighboring ponds in an interconnected pond system, Cottenie et al. (2003) showed that the degree of connectivity of the metacommunity and local environmental conditions were important determinants of species richness.”
Mechanisms, effects, and scales of dispersal in freshwater zooplankton (2004, background): “When Cottenie et al. (2003) performed a similar analysis for a set of Belgian ponds connected by stream corridors, they found that distance via streams explained more variation in community structure than did geographic distance.”
Neutrality, niches, and determinants of plankton metacommunity structure across boreal wetland ponds (2007, background): “…more emphasis has been placed on regional processes in studies directly addressing the spatial configuration of ponds (Cottenie & De Meester, 2003; Cottenie et al., 2003; Louette & De Meester, 2005) and in studies examining the roles of connectivity and the dispersal capacity of organisms per se…”
Control of stream insect assemblages: roles of spatial configuration and local environmental factors (2008, background): “This might also partly explain the relatively low amount of variability accounted for by the constrained ordination models used in the present study compared to those of the two above lentic studies ( Pinel-Alloul et al. , 1995; Cottenie et al. , 2003 ; see also Cottenie, 2005 ).”
Ponds and pools as model systems in conservation biology, ecology and evolutionary biology (2005, background): “, 2001) are also relatively easy to quantify, which makes ponds excellent model systems for quantitative research on metacommunities (e.g. Conrad et al., 1999; Caudill 2003; Cottenie et al., 2003; McAbendroth et al., 2005).”
