Spatial versus spatio-temporal approaches for studying metacommunities: a multi-taxon analysis in Mediterranean and tropical temporary ponds

Author(s): Gálvez Á; Peres-Neto PR; Castillo-Escrivà A; Bonilla F; Camacho A; García-Roger EM; Iepure S; Miralles J; Monrós JS; Olmo C; Picazo A; Rojo C; Rueda J; Sasa M; Segura M; Armengol X; Mesquita-Joanes F;

Prior research on metacommunities has largely focused on snapshot surveys, often overlooking temporal dynamics. In this study, our aim was to compare the insights obtained from metacommunity analyses based on a spatial approach repeated over time, with a spatio-temporal approach that consolidates ...

Inconsistent response of taxonomic groups to space and environment in mediterranean and tropical pond metacommunities

Author(s): Gálvez Á; Peres-Neto PR; Castillo-Escrivà A; Bonilla F; Camacho A; García-Roger EM; Iepure S; Miralles-Lorenzo J; Monrós JS; Olmo C; Picazo A; Rojo C; Rueda J; Sahuquillo M; Sasa M; Segura M; Armengol X; Mesquita-Joanes F;

The metacommunity concept provides a theoretical framework that aims at explaining organism distributions by a combination of environmental filtering, dispersal, and drift. However, few works have attempted a multitaxon approach and even fewer have compared two distant biogeographical regions usi ...

Disturbance-induced emigration: an overlooked mechanism that reduces metapopulation extinction risk

Author(s): Mestre A; Barfield M; Peniston JH; Peres-Neto PR; Mesquita-Joanes F; Holt RD;

Emigration propensity (i.e., the tendency to leave undisturbed patches) is a key life-history trait of organisms in metapopulations with local extinctions and colonizations. Metapopulation models of dispersal evolution typically assume that patch disturbance kills all individuals within the patch, thus causing local extinction. However, individuals may in ...
