Partitioning of benthic biodiversity in boreal streams:contributions of spatial, inter-annual, and seasonal variability
Abstract 1. Studies on biodiversity patterns should optimally relate different scales of temporal community variability to spatial variability. Although temporal biodiversity variability is often negligible compared to spatial variation, it may still constitute a substantial source of overall commun...
