Impacts of agrochemical intensification on the assembly and reassembly of a mainland-island model metacommunity

This study examines how agrochemical intensification affects freshwater communities in artificial ponds at different spatial distances from a wetland source, finding that sugarcane treatments reduced insect abundance and increased amphibian populations, while spatial isolation had limited impact on chemical effects.

Spatial community variability: Interactive effects of predators and isolation on stochastic community assembly

The paper examines how predator presence and dispersal limitation affect community assembly by altering stochastic and non-stochastic processes in freshwater insect communities.

Top predator introduction changes the effects of spatial isolation on freshwater community structure

This study shows that top predator introduction alters how spatial isolation affects freshwater macroinvertebrate communities by changing the interaction between isolation and trophic cascades.
