This paper examines diversity-stability relationships across spatial scales and taxa, finding that regional diversity does not consistently stabilize aggregate properties without sufficient spatial diversity.

This study develops a metacommunity model incorporating seed banks to show that dormancy and dispersal interact nonlinearly to affect diversity maintenance and distribution.

This paper introduces a framework to quantify both aggregate and compositional variability in metacommunities across space and time, identifying four scenarios based on spatial synchrony.

The paper shows that seed banks and niche differences help maintain bacterial diversity in a temperate lake over time.

This study shows that continuous seawater intrusion reduces microbial diversity in tidal freshwater marshes, while episodic intrusion has less impact.

This study examines how vertical habitat structure influences community assembly processes in a dendritic stream metacommunity, finding habitat-specific patterns of sorting and stochasticity across spatial scales.

The paper examines bacterial community assembly across terrestrial-aquatic boundaries by analyzing metabolic heterogeneity and its impact on niche selection versus dispersal.
