Stochasticity Shapes Microbial Communities in High‐Altitude Lakes, Whereas Species Selection and Homogenization Dispersal Are More Important in Lowland Lakes: Case of Benthic Diatoms in Alpine Lakes

ABSTRACT Lakes are fundamental ecosystems for human well‐being, and understanding the ecological processes shaping their biological communities is of prime importance. Among microalgae, diatoms are often dominating the biomass of their benthic habitats, especially in European alpine lakes. We hypoth...
