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.

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 ...

Temporal dynamics of aquatic communities and implications for pond conservation [PDF]

, 2012
Conservation through the protection of particular habitats is predicated on the assumption that the conservation value of those habitats is stable. We test this assumption for ponds by investigating temporal variation in macroinvertebrate and macrophyte ...

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.

Drivers of beta diversity in modern and ancient reef-associated soft-bottom environments [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Beta diversity, the compositional variation among communities, is often associated with environmental gradients. Other drivers of beta diversity include stochastic processes, priority effects, predation, or competitive exclusion.

A generalized framework for analyzing taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional community structure based on presence-absence data [PDF]

, 2018
Community structure as summarized by presence–absence data is often evaluated via diversity measures by incorporating taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional information on the constituting species.

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 ...

Differential temporal beta‐diversity patterns of native and non‐native arthropod species in a fragmented native forest landscape [PDF]

, 2018
An important factor that hinders the management of non‐native species is a general lack of information regarding the biogeography of non‐natives, and, in particular, their rates of turnover.

The role of environmental conditions, climatic factors and spatial processes in driving multiple facets of stream macroinvertebrate beta diversity in a climatically heterogeneous mountain region

, 2021
There is a growing recognition that examining patterns of ecological communities and their underlying determinants is not only feasible based on taxonomic data, but also functional and phylogenetic approaches.
