Species sorting in space and time—the impact of disturbance regime on community assembly in a temporary pool metacommunity (2010, result): “This result supports the accepted concept of lower diversity in habitats experiencing more severe disturbance regimes (Ther- riault and Kolosa 2001, Urban 2004, Serrano and Fahd 2005).”
The Effects of Dispersal and Recruitment Limitation on Community Structure of Odonates in Artificial Ponds (2006, background): “In these systems, the effects of local processes including habitat permanence and species interactions have been extensively examined and can clearly impact community structure (Schneider and Frost 1996, Wellborn et al. 1996, Urban 2004).”
Biodiversity patterns in a macroinvertebrate community of a temporary pond network (2014, background): “In pond networks, environmental heterogeneity has been revealed as crucial in supporting high biodiversity (Urban, 2004; Jeffries, 2005) and also in driving patterns of nested biodiversity, in which species-poor sites contain subsets of species-rich sites, particularly in those systems with good…”
Turnover in an amphibian metacommunity : the role of local and regional factors (2007, background): “Thus, transient changes in patch quality are likely to have very important effects on regional population trends, and Urban (2004) has suggested that this shifting mosaic of habitat suitability over time may result in these metacommunities being relatively resilient to spatially synchronous distur”
Dispersal strength determines meta‐community structure in a dendritic riverine network (2015, background): “Therefore, harsh environmental conditions may cause meta-communities to be structured by local factors (Urban, 2004) and DDRs may not meet the expectation of decreasing community similarity with increasing distance.”
Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, unknown): “Permanent ponds typically support higher numbers of species than temporary ponds, and diversity increases with increasing degree of permanency (Spencer et al., 1999; Urban, 2004; but see Larson, 1985).”
Control of stream insect assemblages: roles of spatial configuration and local environmental factors (2008, background): “…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 ) or field systems ( Cottenie et al. , 2003; Urban, 2004 ).”
Neutrality, niches, and determinants of plankton metacommunity structure across boreal wetland ponds (2007, background): “…ecology has been mostly theoretical (Amarasekare & Nisbet, 2001; Mouquet & Loreau 2002; 2003), and only recently has there been increased interest in empirical and experimental studies on metacommunities (Cottenie & De Meester, 2003; Cottenie et al., 2003; Urban, 2004; Cadotte & Fukami, 2005).”
