Habitat Stability Modulates Temporal β‐Diversity Patterns of Seagrass‐Associated Amphipods Across a Temperate–Subtropical Transition Zone by Sandra Navarro‐Mayoral, Francisco Otero‐Ferrer, Victoria Fernandez‐Gonzalez, Néstor E. Bosch, Yolanda Fernández‐Torquemada, Fiona Tomás, Jorge Terrados, Luis Miguel Ferrero Vicente, Yoana delPilar‐Ruso, Fernando Espino, Fernando Tuya

“…Our study revealed high temporal β‐diversity of amphipod assemblages across the three biogeographical regions, denoting significant fluctuations in species composition over time. We identified species turnover as the primary driver of temporal β‐diversity, strongly linked to temporal variability in local habitat structure rather than to regional climatic drivers. …”
