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 ...

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.

High resolution vegetation assessment with beta-diversity - a moving window approach [PDF]
, 2011 Monitoring designs are often suffering from the inherent non-stationarity of the monitored systems. To overcome this limition, we propose a sampling designs based on high resolution mapping and spatial analyses with double spatial scaling process ...

Scale dependence of the beta diversity-scale relationship [PDF]
, 2015 Alpha, beta, and gamma diversity are three fundamental biodiversity components in ecology, but most studies focus only on the scale issues of the alpha or gamma diversity component.

MODELING THE BETA DIVERSITY OF CORAL REEFS [PDF]
Ecology, 2006 Quantifying the beta diversity (species replacement along spatiotemporal gradients) of ecosystems is important for understanding and conserving patterns of biodiversity. However, virtually all studies of beta diversity focus on one-dimensional transects orientated along a specific environmental gradient that is defined a priori.

Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]
, 2019 Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied

Diet contributes to urban-induced alterations in gut microbiota : experimental evidence from a wild passerine [PDF]
, 2020 Urban sprawl increasingly affects the ecology of natural populations, including host-microbiota interactions, with observed differences in the gut microbiota between urban and rural hosts.
