Habitat Stability Modulates Temporal β-Diversity Patterns of Seagrass-Associated Amphipods Across a Temperate-Subtropical Transition Zone.

ABSTRACT: Identifying drivers that shape biodiversity across biogeographical regions is important to predict ecosystem responses to environmental changes. While β-diversity has been widely used to describe biodiversity patterns across space, the dynamic assembly of species over time has been comparatively overlooked. Insights from terrestrial and marine studies on temporal β-diversity has mostly considered environmental drivers, while the role of biotic mechanisms has been largely ignored. Here, we investigated patterns of temporal variation in β-diversity of seagrass-associated amphipods. We conducted a study in three biogeographical regions across a temperate to subtropical latitudinal gradient (approximately 2000 km, 13° of latitude in total). In each region, we randomly selected three Cymodoc
