Temporal changes in spatial variation: partitioning the extinction and colonisation components of beta diversity.

Ecology Letters, 2021
The last two decades have witnessed unprecedented changes in beta diversity, the spatial variation in species composition, from local to global scales. However, analytical challenges have hampered empirical ecologists from quantifying the extinction and ...

Nitrogen addition promotes soil microbial beta diversity and the stochastic assembly.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Nitrogen (N) deposition is one of major environmental concerns and alters the microbial communities in the pedosphere. A central debate in governing microbial community is on the relative importance of deterministic (ecological selection) vs.

Long‐term nitrogen input alters plant and soil bacterial, but not fungal beta diversity in a semiarid grassland

Global Change Biology, 2021
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input is known to alter plant and microbial α‐diversity, but how N enrichment influences β‐diversity of plant and microbial communities remains poorly understood.

Global patterns and drivers of beta diversity facets of reef fish faunas

Journal of Biogeography, 2022
Exploring the relationships between the different facets of beta diversity and both past and current environmental conditions can unveil the processes that have shaped spatial patterns of biodiversity.

Relative importance of climate and spatial processes in shaping species composition, functional structure and beta diversity of phytoplankton in a large river.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Although metacommunity dynamics of lentic phytoplankton are relatively well-documented, studies on the role of environmental and spatial processes in shaping phytoplankton communities of large rivers are still scarce.

A temporal beta‐diversity index to identify sites that have changed in exceptional ways in space–time surveys

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Aim This paper presents the statistical bases for temporal beta‐diversity analysis, a method to study changes in community composition through time from repeated surveys at several sites.

Taxonomic and functional beta diversity of woody communities along Amazon forest succession: The relative importance of stand age, soil properties and spatial factor

Forest Ecology and Management, 2021
Predicting how multiple drivers shape beta diversity across tropical forest is one of the most important issues in ecology. However, the relative importance of drivers to the spatial and temporal dissimilarities in woody species composition (beta ...

Beta diversity reconsidered

Ecological Research, 2013
Abstract A simple analytical procedure to test for differences in beta diversity among sets of plots has been recently presented. Here, we describe an improved randomization procedure that replaces the one previously proposed. This procedure consists of shuffling within‐group dissimilarities among groups and disregarding between‐group

Impoundment, environmental variables and temporal scale predict zooplankton beta diversity patterns in an Amazonian river basin.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
The implementation of environmental monitoring programs in areas under anthropogenic pressure is essential to investigate the processes that generate and maintain biodiversity in ecosystems and to establish the most appropriate conservation strategies ...

Quantifying evenness and linking it to diversity, beta diversity, and similarity

Ecology, 2019
AbstractAn enormous number of measures based on different criteria have been proposed to quantify evenness or unevenness among species relative abundances in an assemblage. However, a unified approach that can encompass most of the widely used indices is still lacking. Here, we first present some basic requirements for an evenness measure.
