Written and edited by many of the key researchers contributing to the development of the field, this book is systematically structured for easy accessibility by diverse audiences. Introductory sections discuss the importance of spatial structure, dispersal dynamics in aquatic systems, the effects of disturbances, and eco-evolutionary dynamics. Latter chapters apply these theories by describing field experiments in lentic and lotic systems and highlighting the field's applications to stream restoration, invasive species monitoring, urban ecosystem management, and biomonitoring at varying spatial scales.
As advancements and refinements to the field of metacommunity ecology develop, Aquatic Biodiversity presents the first compendium establishing its foundational theories and their applications in aquatic ecology. For this reason, it is an indispensable resource for students, researchers, community ecologists, and aquatic resource managers.
Dr. Bryan L. Brown is Associate Professor of Aquatic Ecology at Virginia Tech. He obtained his MS in Biology at Appalachian State University and his PhD in Integrative Biology at the University of Texas. He brings more than 20 years of experience in aquatic community ecology. Dr. Brown’s research interests include keystone mutualisms in streams, habitat heterogeneity and community stability, community assembly, and the effects of perturbations on aquatic communities. He is Associate Editor of several notable journals, including Ecosphere (ESA), Oecologia (Springer), and Freshwater Science (University of Chicago Press). Dr. Christopher M. Swan is Professor in the Department of Geography & Environmental Systems at the University of Maryland. He obtained his MS in Zoology and PhD in Biology at the University of Maryland and brings more than 20 years of experience to the project. Dr. Swan’s research interests include lotic biodiversity, multiscale diversity in built ecosystems, community assembly, and stream restoration. He has co-authored two books, including The Ecology of Plant Litter Decomposition in Stream Ecosystems (Springer) and Science for the Sustainable City (Yale University Press).
