Drivers of desert plant beta diversity on the Qinghai–Tibet plateau [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe desert ecosystem of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) is an important component of China's desert ecosystem. Studying the mechanisms shaping the taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional beta diversity of plant communities in the QTP desert will help us ...

A phylogenetic approach identifies patterns of beta diversity and floristic subregions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]
Plant DiversityPatterns of taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversity and their relationships with environmental correlates can help reveal the origin and evolutionary history of regional biota.

Gamma diversity and under-sampling together generate patterns in beta-diversity [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Beta diversity represents how species in the regional pool segregate among local communities and hence forms a link between local and regional species diversities.

ANALYZING OR EXPLAINING BETA DIVERSITY? COMMENT [PDF]
Ecology, 2008 ion is alpha diversity, as in LBPa, rather than community composition, as in TR. In fact, alpha diversity is also level-1 data in the TR scheme. This is because alpha diversity can be presented in a sites 3 alpha diversity table, which is an observation units 3 descriptors table, which in turn is the basic format of level-1 data (Fig. 1).

Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic beta diversity in the Inner Mongolia grassland
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Beta diversity, which measures the variation in community composition along environmental gradients, has great significance for biodiversity conservation and nature reserve construction.

Ecological Indicators, 2022 Urbanization is one of the major drivers of biotic homogenization (i.e., decrease in beta diversity) in freshwater systems. However, only a few studies have simultaneously examined how urbanization affects multiple facets (i.e., taxonomic, functional and

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.

Putting beta-diversity on the map: broad-scale congruence and coincidence in the extremes. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2007 Beta-diversity, the change in species composition between places, is a critical but poorly understood component of biological diversity. Patterns of beta-diversity provide information central to many ecological and evolutionary questions, as well as to ...
