An intensively debated issue in ecology is whether the variations biodiversity patterns of different biological groups are congruent space and time. In addition, ecologists have recognized necessity accounting for both taxonomic functional facets when analysing spatial temporal congruence patterns. This study aimed to determine how cross-taxon beta diversity varies across time, using data from four floodplains at a continental scale. Our general hypothesis was that between aquatic groups,...
Submersed macrophytes have important ecological roles but non-native invasive species may affect biodiversity and water uses. We investigated the native macrophyte Egeria najas Hydrilla verticillata measured their maximum colonization depth its relationship with Secchi disk depth, biomass along gradient preferred depths of occurrence. The Itaipu Reservoir was monitored for seven years, during which were measured. During a separate sampling, plants collected to determine gradient. Ancova...
Abstract Studies that combine functional and taxonomic beta-diversity are essential for explaining some ecological processes, including the process of species invasion. We evaluated whether environmental factors (such as lake connectivity, subsystem hydrological period) biological (occurrence richness non-native native fish species) affect components (total, replacement) communities living in Upper Paraná River floodplain Brazil. For this, a distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA) was...
