Ecosphere, 2021 Evaluating the relative importance of deterministic and stochastic processes underlying taxonomic and functional beta diversity is crucial in community ecology, because it can reveal the dominant processes of community assembly.

Differences in Beta Diversity Between Exotic and Native Grasslands Vary with Scale Along a Latitudinal Gradient [PDF]
, 2015 Biodiversity can be partitioned into alpha, beta, and gamma components, and beta diversity is not as clearly understood. Biotic homogenization predicts that exotic species should lower beta diversity at global and continental scales, but it is still ...

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.

Beta-diversity of Central European forests decreases along an elevational gradient due to the variation in local community assembly processes [PDF]
, 2018 Beta-diversity has been repeatedly shown to decline with increasing elevation, but the causes of this pattern remain unclear, partly because they are confounded by coincident variation in alpha- and gamma-diversity.

Fine-scale bacterial beta diversity within a complex ecosystem (Zodletone Spring, OK, USA): the role of the rare biosphere. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundThe adaptation of pyrosequencing technologies for use in culture-independent diversity surveys allowed for deeper sampling of ecosystems of interest. One extremely well suited area of interest for pyrosequencing-based diversity surveys that has

Synchronous genitourinary lichen sclerosus signals a distinct urinary microbiome profile in men with urethral stricture disease. [PDF]
, 2021 PurposeAlterations in the urinary microbiome have been associated with urological diseases. The microbiome of patients with urethral stricture disease (USD) remains unknown.

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.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Environmental filtration and spatial processes are associated with variation in ecological communities and biodiversity; however, their relative importance to species beta diversity at different sampling scales has not been fully explored in desert plant

Testing the performance of beta diversity measures based on incidence data: the robustness to undersampling [PDF]
, 2012 Copyright © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.AIM Researchers measuring beta diversity have rarely concerned themselves with the problems of how complete the species lists of studied communities are, and of how the varying degrees of completeness can ...
