Do the ecological drivers of lake littoral communities match and lead to congruence between organism groups?
2020
AbstractLake littoral environments are heterogeneous, and different organisms typically show specific responses to this environmental variation. We examined local environmental and spatial factors affecting lake littoral biodiversity and the structuring of assemblages of phytoplankton, zooplankton and macroinvertebrates within and among three basins of a large lake system. We explored congruence of species composition and species richness among the studied organism groups to evaluate their general indicator potential to represent spatial variation in other groups. We expected that effects of water chemistry on plankton assemblages were stronger than effects of habitat characteristics. In co…

R-code and data for replicating statistical analyses used in the study: Increasing human environmental footprint does not lead to biotic homogenization of forest bird communities in northern USA. This study examined how forest loss and increased human domination in the state of Minnesota in the USA were associated with diversity of forest birds using bird count data.
