- Concordance among stream assemblages and spatial autocorrelation along a fragmented gradient (2007, background): “In community ecology, a central idea is that spatial variation in local community structure comes either from environmental forcing or from biotic processes (e.g. Magalhães et al ., 2002).”
- Diversity and community composition of butterflies and odonates in an ENSO-induced fire affected habitat mosaic: a case study from East Kalimantan, Indonesia (2004, background): “Likewise, Magalhaes et al. (2002) studied two fish assemblages in Mira and Seixe Portugal and were able to explain 36.6% and 57.8% of the variation in the community similarity, respectively, of assemblages from both areas, but only 11.3% and 0.0% respectively was due to distance alone.”
- Trophic diversity of the otter (Lutra lutra L.) in temperate and Mediterranean freshwater habitats (2003, background): “Freshwater ecosystems are especially sensitive to predictable and unpredictable environmental variations such as those characteristic of Mediterranean climates (Prenda & Gallardo, 1996; Gasith & Resh, 1999; Magalhães et al., 2002).”
- Multiscale effects of flow regime and habitat and their interaction on fish assemblage structure in eastern Australia (2007, methodology): “We assessed the overall performance of the neural network models by calculating the degree of concordance between predicted and observed fish assemblages (defined by species presence–absence, relative abundance, and biomass) using the Bray–Curtis similarity coefficient (Krebs 1999).”
- Diatom Model Affinity (DMA), a New Index for Water Quality Assessment (2004, background): “large-scale environmental causation on organismal distribution has triggered a new wave of inspiring research (Richards et al., 1996; Magalhaes et al., 2002) and here we provide first evidence on the influence of scale on diatom community metrics.”
- Trophic diversity of the otter (Lutra lutra L.) in temperate and Mediterranean freshwater habitats (2003, background): “5 10 15 20 Freshwater ecosystems are specially sensitive to predictable and unpredictable environmental variations such as those characteristic of Mediterranean climates (Prenda & Gallardo 1996, Gasith & Resh 1999, Magalhães et al., 2002).”
- The effects of limnological features on fish assemblages of 14 Spanish reservoirs (2006, background): “Spatial changes in fish assemblage structure along the upstream–downstream physical gradient are well known (Schlosser 1982, 1990; Magalhães et al. 2002) and in most European rivers, ‘trout’, ‘grayling’, ‘barbel’ and ‘bream’ zones are recognised along the river continuum (Cowx & Welcomme 1998).”
- Reservoirs promote the taxonomic homogenization of fish communities within river basins (2010, background): “This temporal and spatial variability in environmental conditions is the main force structuring Mediterranean freshwater communities (Gasith and Resh 1999; Magalhães et al. 2002).”
- Control of stream insect assemblages: roles of spatial configuration and local environmental factors (2008, background): “For example, fish community structure and species richness were found to be influenced by both local environmental conditions and spatial position at the drainage basin level ( Magalhães et al. , 2002; Grenouillet et al. , 2004 ).”
- Biogeography of Iberian freshwater fishes revisited: the roles of historical versus contemporary constraints (2009, background): “Indeed, previous studies examining the role of contemporary environments have been limited to specific regions of the peninsula (e.g. Carmona et al., 1999; Filipe et al., 2002; Magalhães et al., 2002).”
