Lakes in the era of global change: moving beyond single‐lake thinking in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services
The Anthropocene presents formidable threats to freshwater ecosystems. Lakes are especially
vulnerable and important at the same time. They cover only a small area worldwide but …

Ecological drivers of multiple facets of beta diversity in a lentic macroinvertebrate metacommunity
J Heino, KT Tolonen - Limnology and Oceanography, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Community ecology has broadened considerably with the recognition that it is not only at
the species‐level data where biological patterns and their determinants should be studied. …

Local environment and space drive multiple facets of stream macroinvertebrate beta diversity

Community size can affect the signals of ecological drift and niche selection on biodiversity
Ecological drift can override the effects of deterministic niche selection on small populations
and drive the assembly of some ecological communities. We tested this hypothesis with a …

Relative roles of spatial processes, natural factors and anthropogenic stressors in structuring a lake macroinvertebrate metacommunity
Studies of aquatic metacommunities have so far been focused almost entirely on relatively
isolated systems, such as a set of streams, lakes or ponds. Here, we aimed to quantify the …

Assessing the conservation priority of freshwater lake sites based on taxonomic, functional and environmental uniqueness
Aim We propose a novel approach that considers taxonomic uniqueness, functional uniqueness
and environmental uniqueness and show how it can be used in guiding conservation …

Subtropical streams harbour higher genus richness and lower abundance of insects compared to boreal streams, but scale matters
Aim Biological diversity typically varies between climatically different regions, and regions
closer to the equator often support higher numbers of taxa than those closer to the poles. …
