Changes in environmental conditions regulate the biodiversity of planktonic microeukarytoes mediated by the dispersal-selection relationships in river:

The present study explores variations in the biodiversity of planktonic microeukaryotes along a river exhibiting significant variability, and their associations with the dispersal-selection relationship. The higher dispersal but lower selection on phytoplankton compared to zooplankton resulted in higher alpha- and beta-diversity of phytoplankton than zooplankton throughout the Beipan River

本研究聚焦环境异质性显著的北盘江，探讨了浮游微型真核生物（planktonic microeukaryotes）的生物多样性沿河流梯度的变化特征，及其与扩散-选择关系的关联。相较于浮游动物，浮游植物所受的扩散作用更强但选择压力更低，最终使得北盘江流域内浮游植物的α多样性与β多样性均高于浮游动物。
