Interactive effects of dispersal rate and disturbance synchrony on microarthropod diversity at multiple spatial scales : rescue effects do not increase regional richness

Immigration from surrounding areas is known to benefit community recovery following disturbance. However, whether such rescue effects can increase regional diversity in landscapes subject to patchy disturbance has rarely been investigated experimentally. This study manipulated landscape connectivity...
