Partitioning the temporal changes in abundance-based beta diversity into loss and gain components
bioRxiv, 2021 Ecologists have long recognized that the losses and gains in local species abundances can either decrease or increase spatial beta diversity, phenomena often referred to as biotic homogenization and differentiation, respectively.

The Elevational Gradient of Bird Beta Diversity in the Meili Snow Mountains, Yunnan Province, China
Animals, 2023 Understanding the elevational patterns of beta diversity in mountain regions is a long-standing problem in biogeography and ecology. Previous research has generally focused on the taxonomy facet on a large scale, but was limited with regard to multi ...

Disentangling niche theory and beta diversity change
bioRxiv, 2021 Beta diversity describes the differences in species composition among communities. Changes in beta diversity over time are thought to be due to selection based on species’ niche characteristics.

Empirical evaluations between beta-diversity, environmental heterogeneity, and spatial extent among multiple taxonomic groups [PDF]
Acta Limnologica BrasiliensiaAim Beta diversity is expected to increase due to environmental heterogeneity and spatial extent. However, it remains unknown whether the response of beta diversity to these variables is consistent among different taxonomic groups. I investigated whether

Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding biodiversity changes, along with its driving factors and mechanisms, is crucial in biogeography and community ecology. Beta diversity is an indicator for discerning the compositional variations among communities and is essential role in ...

PLoS ONE, 2012 Biodiversity assessment of tropical taxa is hampered by their tremendous richness, which leads to large numbers of singletons and incomplete inventories in survey studies.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The emergence of metacommunity theory has significantly contributed to our understanding of the drivers of community assembly and biome variation. The Network Location Hypothesis (NPH) posits that tributary communities situated at the source regions of a

, 2020 Herbivorous insects that feed internally on plant tissues depend on their host plants as food resource and immediate habitat. The parasitoids of these herbivores, in turn, depend both on their host herbivores and on the herbivores' host plants.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
