Freshwater rock pools: a review of habitat characteristics, faunal diversity and conservation value
- M. Jocqué, M. Jocqué, B. Vanschoenwinkel, L. Brendonck
- Geology
- 1 August 2010
SUMMARY 1. In the light of the recent surge of interest in small and often temporary wetlands as model systems for ecological and evolutionary research, this article reviews current knowledge on… Expand
Successional phases and species replacements in freshwater rock pools: towards a biological definition of ephemeral systems
- M. Jocqué, B. Riddoch, L. Brendonck
- Biology
- 1 September 2007
Summary
1. In temporary aquatic habitats, time is probably the dominant environmental factor affecting community composition, mainly by setting constraints on colonization success and the… Expand
Species sorting in space and time—the impact of disturbance regime on community assembly in a temporary pool metacommunity
- B. Vanschoenwinkel, A. Waterkeyn, M. Jocqué, L. Boven, M. Seaman, L. Brendonck
- Biology
- Journal of the North American Benthological…
- 31 August 2010
Abstract Ecosystems generally are not stable over long periods of time and are subject to disturbances of different frequencies and intensities. As a result, natural communities usually are not in… Expand
Evolution of endemism on a young tropical mountain
- V. Merckx, K. Hendriks, +52 authors M. Schilthuizen
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 20 August 2015
Tropical mountains are hot spots of biodiversity and endemism, but the evolutionary origins of their unique biotas are poorly understood. In varying degrees, local and regional extinction,… Expand
Climatic control of dispersal–ecological specialization trade‐offs: a metacommunity process at the heart of the latitudinal diversity gradient?
- M. Jocqué, Richard Field, L. Brendonck, L. Meester
- Biology
- 1 March 2010
We outline the potentially important role of dispersal in linking diversity patterns at different spatial and temporal scales, and the resulting potential to link hypotheses explaining macroscale… Expand
Toward a Global Phylogeny of the “Living Fossil" Crustacean Order of the Notostraca
- B. Vanschoenwinkel, T. Pinceel, +4 authors L. Brendonck
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 18 April 2012
Tadpole shrimp (Crustacea, Notostraca) are iconic inhabitants of temporary aquatic habitats worldwide. Often cited as prime examples of evolutionary stasis, surviving representatives closely resemble… Expand
Local structuring factors of invertebrate communities in ephemeral freshwater rock pools and the influence of more permanent water bodies in the region
- M. Jocqué, Tim B. Graham, L. Brendonck
- Biology
- Hydrobiologia
- 24 July 2007
We used three isolated clusters of small ephemeral rock pools on a sandstone flat in Utah to test the importance of local structuring processes on aquatic invertebrate communities. In the three… Expand
Hydrological stability drives both local and regional diversity patterns in rock pool metacommunities
- L. Brendonck, M. Jocqué, Karen Tuytens, B. Timms, B. Vanschoenwinkel
- Biology
- 1 June 2015
A main challenge associated with macro ecological gradients such as the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is that proxies of potential underlying processes are often correlated at large scales.… Expand
Faunistics of ephemeral rock pools in southeastern Botswana
- M. Jocqué, K. Martens, B. Riddoch, L. Brendonck
- Biology
- 1 March 2006
Abstract: Rock pools on granite outcrops occur worldwide and are poorly studied,despite their intrinsic biological interest. In semi-arid Botswana, such habitats occurmainly on the granite outcrops… Expand

- L. Brendonck, M. Jocqué, A. Hulsmans, B. Vanschoenwinkel
- Biology
- 27 October 2010
Pools 'on the rocks': freshwater rock pools as model system in ecological and evolutionary research Rock pools inarguably exhibit a number of characteristics which make them attractive as a model… Expand
