Core and occasional species: A new way forward
This paper describes a novel method of dividing ecological communities into species groups based on their relative abundance. It builds on the core–occasional species concept but tackles grouping of species in a completely new, more objective way, with no a priori assumption of the number of groups in a community.

Environmental stress from abiotic conditions imposes physiological limits on individuals within communities, and these stressful conditions can act as a filter on the species present in any given environment. Such abiotic stressors can reduce a community's diversity and make its composition more phylogenetically clustered. Using a decade of staphylinid

The observed number of beetle species considerably under‐represents species richness and the number of shared species between strata and tree species in the Leipzig floodplain forest. Still, richness ranking patterns based on the number of observed species are largely reliable.

A summary of the endemic beetle genera of the West Indies (Insecta: Coleoptera); bioindicators of the evolutionary richness of this Neotropical archipelago [PDF]
The Caribbean Islands (or the West Indies) are recognized as one of the leading global biodiversity hot spots. This is based on data on species, genus, and family diversity for vascular plants and non-marine vertebrates.
