Drought, dispersal, and community dynamics in arid-land streams

Creator:: Bogan, Michael T.
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms that regulate local species diversity and community structure is a perennial goal of ecology. Local community structure can be viewed as the result of numerous local and regional processes; these processes act as filters that reduce the regional species pool down to the observed local community. In...

Diversity and community structure of aquatic insects in isolated montane desert streams

Creator:: Bogan, Michael T.
Abstract:: Local aquatic insect diversity and community structure is the result of multiple local and regional factors, and observed patterns depend upon the spatial and temporal scale under examination. Isolated stream systems in arid regions represent a new challenge in understanding the drivers of diversity and community structure, as most studies...

Severe Drought Drives Novel Community Trajectories in Desert Stream Pools

Creator:: Bogan, Michael T. and Lytle, David A.
Abstract:: 1. Ecological communities can be relatively stable for long periods of time, and then, often as a result of disturbance, transition rapidly to a novel state. When communities fail to recover to pre-disturbance configurations, they are said to have experienced a regime shift or to be in an alternative stable state....
