Factors Affecting Mammalian Occupancy and Species Richness in Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Species richness is an important metric used for undertaking conservation management decisions. However, species richness estimates are influenced by species detection probabilities, with potential to entirely overlook species during surveys.

Global warming is causing a more pronounced dip in marine species richness around the equator

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance We use distribution data on 48,661 species to show that marine biodiversity has been responding to climate warming at a global scale. We show that marine species richness levels off or declines in latitudinal bands with average annual sea ...

Global Patterns of Earwig Species Richness

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
One of the most investigated patterns in species diversity is the so-called latitudinal gradient, that is, a decrease in species richness from the equator to the poles.

Are complementarity effects of species richness on productivity the strongest in species‐rich communities?

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2021
Abstract How the relationship between species richness and productivity changes along environmental gradients remains poorly understood. We examined the context dependency of complementarity processes underpinning this relationship (biotic feedbacks, resource partitioning and facilitation) using the framework of Grime's (1973) humped‐back model.

Main predictors of periphyton species richness depend on adherence strategy and cell size. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Periphytic algae are important components of aquatic ecosystems. However, the factors driving periphyton species richness variation remain largely unexplored.

Modelling Species Richness and Functional Diversity in Tropical Dry Forests Using Multispectral Remotely Sensed and Topographic Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Efforts to assess and understand changes in plant diversity and ecosystem functioning focus on the analysis of taxonomic diversity. However, the resilience of ecosystems depends not only on species richness but also on the functions (responses and ...

Fish Species Richness in Polish Lakes

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Global warming, eutrophication, fisheries overexploitation, species invasions, and habitat loss are the major threats to freshwater biodiversity. The aim of this study was to determine the species richness and diversity of fish in 535 Polish lakes of ...

Synchrony matters more than species richness in plant community stability at a global scale

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance The stability of ecological communities under ongoing climate and land-use change is fundamental to the sustainable management of natural resources through its effect on critical ecosystem services.
