Contrasts between habitat generalists and specialists: an empirical extension to the basic metacommunity framework. (2009, methodology): “Annual surveys were carried out between 28 December and 11 January from 1989 to 2008 and once in early June in 1997.”
Quantifying and disentangling dispersal in metacommunities: how close have we come? How far is there to go? (2010, background): “For example, Vanschoenwinkel et al. (2007) in their study of aquatic invertebrates inhabiting a system of 36 rock pools calculated a distance matrix which contained the distances between each pair-wise combination of patches and in the 158 data set meta-analysis of Cottenie (2005) distance between…”
Warming leads to higher species turnover in a coastal ecosystem (2010, background): “Increasing beta-diversity with increasing environmental and spatial distance has been detected in a variety of studies (Soininen, 2004; Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2007).”
Species sorting in space and time—the impact of disturbance regime on community assembly in a temporary pool metacommunity (2010, methodology): “Reasons for this apparent discrepancy with the results of a previous study (which did report spatial effects explaining community structure; Vanschoenwinkel et al. 2007) probably lie in the more restricted data set in the present study (only the 22 pools that were wet throughout the season were…”
Any way the wind blows ‐ frequent wind dispersal drives species sorting in ephemeral aquatic communities (2008, background): “This confirms the suggestion in Vanschoenwinkel et al. (2007) that wind dispersal probably is an important local structuring factor in this rock pool metacommunity.”
Freshwater rock pools: a review of habitat characteristics, faunal diversity and conservation value (2010, background): “Over four sample periods, 39 species were recorded in 36 rock pools on a single outcrop in South Africa (Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2007), and 26 species were recorded in Botswana from 27 rock pools, spread equally over three rocky outcrops (Jocque et al., 2006).”
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).”
Relative importance of different dispersal vectors for small aquatic invertebrates in a rock pool metacommunity (2008, background): “…dispersal of temporary rock pool invertebrates in a direct way in order to compare the relative importance of different vectors (water, amphibians and wind) and link local dispersal dynamics to the structure of the invertebrate metacommunity which is described in Vanschoenwinkel et al. (2007).”
Moving on up: can results from simple aquatic mesocosm experiments be applied across broad spatial scales? (2011, background): “Further, the largest mesocosms in this experiment, the 500 000 L experimental ponds, were bigger than many productive and ecologically important ecosystems, including rock pools, tree holes and some natural ponds (Srivastava, 2005; Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2007).”
