The metacommunity concept: a framework for multi‐scale community ecology
The metacommunity concept is an important way to think about linkages between different
spatial scales in ecology. Here we review current understanding about this concept. We first …

[HTML][HTML] Rare species support vulnerable functions in high-diversity ecosystems
… Thus, even in highly diverse systems, we can no longer assume that rare species can be
discounted by the high probability of functional redundancy. In these high-diversity systems, …

Community patterns in source-sink metacommunities
… The relevance of our model to other theoretical approaches is discussed elsewhere (Mouquet
and Loreau 2002); here we focus on interpreting our results and their limitation. …

Biodiversity as spatial insurance in heterogeneous landscapes
… We set an extinction threshold to N ij (t) = 0.1; local populations lower than this threshold

Ecophylogenetics: advances and perspectives
Ecophylogenetics can be viewed as an emerging fusion of ecology, biogeography and
macroevolution. This new and fast‐growing field is promoting the incorporation of evolution and …

Empirical approaches to metacommunities: a review and comparison with theory
Metacommunity theory has advanced understanding of how spatial dynamics and local
interactions shape community structure and biodiversity. Here, we review empirical approaches …
