Abstract:The stability of isolated communities is determined by foodweb complexity.However, it is unclear how local stability interacts with dispersal in multitrophic metacommunities to shape biodiversity patterns. Furthermore, metacommunity dynamics in landscapes with non-trivial and dynamic structures are less understood.vspace{8pt}\newlineObjectives: We aim to evaluate the influence of local stabilizing factors versus dispersalin determining the sensitivity of metacommunity biodiversity to increasing site availabili… Show more
