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 ...

Effects of environment and metacommunity delineation on multiple dimensions of stream fish beta diversity

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionBeta diversity represents changes in community composition among locations across a landscape. While the effects of human activities on beta diversity are becoming clearer, few studies have considered human effects on the three dimensions of ...

Functional and taxonomic beta diversity of butterfly assemblages in an archipelago: relative importance of island characteristics, climate, and spatial factors

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Islands host a disproportionate fraction of global biodiversity and provide ideal systems for investigating the factors affecting patterns of biodiversity. However, islands are also vulnerable systems and epicenters of biodiversity loss.

Local contributions to beta diversity in urban pond networks: Implications for biodiversity conservation and management

Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2021
An understanding of how biotic communities are spatially organized is necessary to identify and prioritize habitats within landscape‐scale biodiversity conservation.

Elucidating the Beta-Diversity of the Microbiome: from Global Alignment to Local Alignment

mSystems, 2021
Quantitative comparison among microbiomes can link microbial beta-diversity to environmental features, thus enabling prediction of ecosystem properties or dissection of host-microbiome interaction.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal trees influence the latitudinal beta-diversity gradient of tree communities in forests worldwide

Nature Communications, 2021
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) associations are critical for host-tree performance. However, how mycorrhizal associations correlate with the latitudinal tree beta-diversity remains untested.

A multi-faceted comparative perspective on elevational beta-diversity: the patterns and their causes

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021
The observed patterns and underlying mechanisms of elevational beta-diversity have been explored intensively, but multi-dimensional comparative studies remain scarce.

Turnover Drives High Benthic Macroinvertebrates’ Beta Diversity in a Tropical Karstic Lake District

Diversity, 2022
Beta diversity is useful to explain community assembly across landscapes with spatial variation. Its turnover and nestedness components help explain how beta diversity is structured across environmental and spatial gradients.
