  1. 1. Evolution of Ecological Communities in Spatially Heterogeneous Environments

    Författare :Jonas Wickman; Åke Brännström; Sebastian Diehl; Mathew A Leibold; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spatial models; reaction-diffusion equations; eco-evolutionary models; adaptive dynamics; evolutionarily stable communities;

    Sammanfattning : Evolutionarily stable communities are the endpoints of evolution, and ecological communities whose traits are under selection will eventually settle into them. Hence, the properties of such communities are of particular interest, as they can persist over long evolutionary time scales. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Assembly Mechanisms in Aquatic Bacterial Communities : The Role of Disturbances, Dispersal and History

    Författare :Mercè Berga Quintana; Silke Langenheder; Eva Lindström; Örjan Östman; Mathew Leibold; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diversity; community composition; metacommunity;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental conditions, biotic interactions, dispersal and history have been suggested to be important processes influencing the spatial distribution of organisms and thus to affect community assembly. Understanding how these processes influence community assembly is important, particularly because community diversity and composition are suggested to be relevant for ecosystem functioning. LÄS MER
