Dispersal mode and spatial extent influence distance-decay patterns in pond metacommunities.
Assuming that dispersal modes or abilities can explain the different responses of organisms to geographic or environmental distances, the distance-decay relationship is a useful tool to evaluate the relative role of local environmental structuring versus regional control in community composition. Ba...
