Biodiversity patterns in a macroinvertebrate community of a temporary pond network (2014, background): “…by annual inundation-desiccation cycles (Williams, 1997), are ideal model systems to study metacommunity ecology given their simple structure, local abundance, and occurrence in pond networks that demonstrate clear environmental gradients (Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2007; Pandit et al., 2009).”
Environmental and spatial controls of biotic assemblages in a discrete semi‐terrestrial habitat: comparison of organisms with different dispersal abilities sampled in the same plots (2011, background): “One of the most promising theoretical frameworks concerning species distributions, diversity and coexistence is the metacommunity concept, which has developed rapidly in recent years (Leibold et al., 2004; Cottenie, 2005; Ng et al., 2009; Pandit et al., 2009; Okuda et al., 2010).”
Deterministic selection dominates microbial community assembly in termite mounds (2020, methodology): “A previous study reported that organisms with wider niche breadth might have greater metabolic plasticity and be less in uenced by deterministic processes [34].”
Using network analysis to explore co-occurrence patterns in soil microbial communities (2011, background): “Thus, the two somehow arbitrary ecological categories that we established allowed us to capture additional information on the community assembling structure as previously shown for macroorganisms (Pandit et al., 2009).”
