Project summary:
Local communities usually undergo changes in their composition over time. It has been suggested that this temporal turnover is a key process underlying elementary macroecological phenomena like beta diversity and species–area relationships, but empirical evidence is missing. Moreover, there is a disagreement about the importance of different processes that may drive temporal turnover. The aim of our working group is to establish a firm link between spatial and temporal turnover in metacommunities.
