The geography of biodiversity change in marine and terrestrial assemblages

Science, 2019
Spatial structure of species change Biodiversity is undergoing rapid change driven by climate change and other human influences. Blowes et al. analyze the global patterns in temporal change in biodiversity using a large quantity of time-series data from ...

Integrating Species Traits into Species Pools [PDF]

, 2018
Despite decades of research on the species‐pool concept and the recent explosion of interest in trait‐based frameworks in ecology and biogeography, surprisingly little is known about how spatial and temporal changes in species‐pool functional diversity ...

Transcriptomics provides a robust framework for the relationships of the major clades of cladobranch sea slugs (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Heterobranchia), but fails to resolve the position of the enigmatic genus Embletonia

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background The soft-bodied cladobranch sea slugs represent roughly half of the biodiversity of marine nudibranch molluscs on the planet. Despite their global distribution from shallow waters to the deep sea, from tropical into polar seas, and their ...

New evidence on the identity of the European Helorus species (Hymenoptera, Proctotrupoidea, Heloridae) [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Species of Helorus Latreille 1802 are rarely collected endoparasitoids of Chrysopidae larvae (Neuroptera). Previous work on the limits between the European species of this species-poor genus, based on morphology only, has left some uncertainties.

Assemblage Time Series Reveal Biodiversity Change but Not Systematic Loss

Science, 2014
Changing Assemblages Although the rate of species extinction has increased markedly as a result of human activity across the biosphere, conservation has focused on endangered species rather than on shifts in assemblages. Dornelas et al. (p.

Temporal biodiversity change following disturbance varies along an environmental gradient

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020
Aim The diversity and composition of natural communities are rapidly changing due to anthropogenic disturbances. Magnitude of this compositional reorganization varies across the globe, but reasons behind the variation remain largely unknown. Disturbances

Repeated subsamples during DNA extraction reveal increased diversity estimates in DNA metabarcoding of Malaise traps

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
With increased application of DNA metabarcoding in biodiversity assessment, various laboratory protocols have been optimized, and their further evaluation is subject of current research. Homogenization of bulk samples and subsequent DNA extraction from a
