The role of metacommunity processes in shaping invertebrate rock pool communities along a dispersal gradient
TL;DR: This is one of the first studies to present evidence for spatial patterns in aquatic communities on such a small spatial scale (a rock ledge of 99000 m 2 ), and indicates that local abiotic factors were dominant over spatial factors in explaining community structure and both were acting independently.
