Spatial Pattern of Species Richness among Terrestrial Mammals in China
Diversity, 2020 We describe large-scale patterns of terrestrial mammal distribution in China by using geographical information system (GIS) spatial analysis. Mammal taxa, examined by species, family, and order, were binned into 10 km × 10 km grids to explore the ...

Species richness change across spatial scales
Oikos, 2019 3 Humans have elevated global extinction rates and thus lowered global-scale species richness. 4 However, there is no a priori reason to expect that losses of global species richness should 5 always, or even often, trickle down to losses of species ...

Predicting coral species richness: the effect of input variables, diversity and scale. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Coral reefs are facing a biodiversity crisis due to increasing human impacts, consequently, one third of reef-building corals have an elevated risk of extinction.

Facilitation beyond species richness [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, 2018 AbstractFacilitation studies have previously focused on the effects of plant–plant interactions on species richness and, more recently, on functional traits or phylogenetic aspects. Little is known, however, about the simultaneous effects that facilitation have on overall biodiversity, jointly considering taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic ...

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Biodiversity loss may decrease the resistance of ecosystems to disturbance. While many studies have tested the effects of species richness on the ability of communities to resist disturbance, few have considered the role of species evenness.

Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Bird species richness is mediated by local, regional, and historical factors, for example, competition, environmental heterogeneity, contemporary, and historical climate.

Tree species richness increases ecosystem carbon storage in subtropical forests
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 Forest ecosystems are an integral component of the global carbon cycle as they take up and release large amounts of C over short time periods (C flux) or accumulate it over longer time periods (C stock).

Environmental determinants of aquatic plant diversity differ between growth forms and range sizes
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Aquatic plants are fundamental for aquatic ecosystems. Understanding variations in geographic patterns of aquatic plant diversity across growth forms is important for conservation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems.
