Multi-group biodiversity distributions and drivers of metacommunity organization along a glacial–fluvial–limnic pathway on the Tibetan plateau

Jan.09,2023

Dr. Meng Yao published a paper in Environmental Research with her collaborator.


•Environmental DNA captured diverse biota along a glacial pathway.
•Different organism groups showed variable biodiversity distribution patterns.
•Smaller organisms' communities were more correlated with environmental factors.
Stochastic and deterministic processes differentially impacted community assembly.
•Multi-group biomonitoring can comprehensively assess ecosystem responses.
