Differences in Beta Diversity Between Exotic and Native Grasslands Vary with Scale Along a Latitudinal Gradient [PDF]
, 2015 Biodiversity can be partitioned into alpha, beta, and gamma components, and beta diversity is not as clearly understood. Biotic homogenization predicts that exotic species should lower beta diversity at global and continental scales, but it is still ...

Species replacement dominates megabenthos beta diversity in a remote seamount setting [PDF]
, 2018 Seamounts are proposed to be hotspots of deep-sea biodiversity, a pattern potentially arising from increased productivity in a heterogeneous landscape leading to either high species co-existence or species turnover (beta diversity).

Testing the performance of beta diversity measures based on incidence data: the robustness to undersampling [PDF]
, 2012 Copyright © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.AIM Researchers measuring beta diversity have rarely concerned themselves with the problems of how complete the species lists of studied communities are, and of how the varying degrees of completeness can ...

High resolution vegetation assessment with beta-diversity - a moving window approach [PDF]
, 2011 Monitoring designs are often suffering from the inherent non-stationarity of the monitored systems. To overcome this limition, we propose a sampling designs based on high resolution mapping and spatial analyses with double spatial scaling process ...

MODELING THE BETA DIVERSITY OF CORAL REEFS [PDF]
Ecology, 2006 Quantifying the beta diversity (species replacement along spatiotemporal gradients) of ecosystems is important for understanding and conserving patterns of biodiversity. However, virtually all studies of beta diversity focus on one-dimensional transects orientated along a specific environmental gradient that is defined a priori.

Scale dependence of the beta diversity-scale relationship [PDF]
, 2015 Alpha, beta, and gamma diversity are three fundamental biodiversity components in ecology, but most studies focus only on the scale issues of the alpha or gamma diversity component.

Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]
, 2019 Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied

How Should Beta-Diversity Inform Biodiversity Conservation? [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016 To design robust protected area networks, accurately measure species losses, or understand the processes that maintain species diversity, conservation science must consider the organization of biodiversity in space. Central is beta-diversity--the component of regional diversity that accumulates from compositional differences between local species ...
