Spatial pattern and community assembly: does the configuration of stream networks influence their community structure?

Dendritic stream networks are inherently spatially and hierarchically structured, but the effects of this structure on stream communities are largely unknown. My aim was to investigate spatial patterns in stream networks using extensive spatial sampling of both adult and benthic macroinvertebrates i...
