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.

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 ...

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.

Rarefaction of beta diversity [PDF]

Ecological Indicators, 2019
Beta diversity has long been used to summarize the amount of variation in species composition among a set of N sampling units. However, while classical beta diversity provides an estimate of multiple-site dissimilarity among all sampling units, it is not informative on the changes of multiple-site dissimilarity as a function of sampling effort.

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.

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.

Fine‐grain beta diversity of Palaearctic grassland vegetation

Journal of Vegetation Science, 2021
range of different grassland and other open habitat types. We derived extensive environmental and structural information for these series. For each series and four taxonomic groups (vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens, all), we calculated the slope ...

Plant-centred sampling estimates higher beta diversity of interactions than pollinator-based sampling across habitats.

New Phytologist, 2021
When describing plant-animal interaction networks, sampling can be performed using plant- or animal-centred approaches. Despite known effects of sampling on network structure, how samplings affect the estimates of interaction beta diversity across ...

Partitioning beta diversity to untangle mechanisms underlying the assembly of bird communities in Mediterranean olive groves

Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2021
We investigated taxonomic and functional beta diversity of bird communities inhabiting Mediterranean olive groves subject to either intensive or low‐intensity management of the ground cover and located in landscapes with different degrees of complexity.

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.
