The spatial isolation gradient of communities and the gradient in the species dispersal ability
are recognized determinants of biodiversity in metacommunities. In spite of this, mean field …

Large variability in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) uptake rates has been reported for
headwater streams, but the causes of this variability are still not well understood. Here we …

Disturbances, such as wildfires, are one of the main drivers of biodiversity dynamics, and their
frequency and intensity are expected to increase due to global change. Such disturbances …

Assuming that dispersal modes or abilities can explain the different responses of organisms
to geographic or environmental distances, the distance-decay relationship is a useful tool to …

The Mediterranean region has historically been affected by wildfires. However, studies
addressing wildfire impacts have traditionally focused first on terrestrial systems and second on …

Mediterranean ecosystems are increasingly threatened by disturbances such as wildfires.
These disturbances are expected to shift the selective pressures that determine trait‐…

Zooplankton assemblages in the confined coastal lagoons of La Pletera salt marshes (Baix
Ter wetlands, Girona, Spain) are dominated by two species: one calanoid copepod (…

In the coast of Girona (NE of the Iberian Peninsula), there are several wetlands associated
with the deltaic progradation of the Ter river (Baix Ter wetlands) and of the Muga and Fluvià …

Wildfires are a global disturbance being enhanced by human-induced pressures. Their
frequency and intensity are expected to increase in the near future in regions such as the …

The biogeographical principle that larger areas contain more species than smaller areas
has more often been assumed than tested. In this sense, contradictory results have been …
