Climate and plant community diversity in space and time. [PDF]
Climate strongly shapes plant diversity over large spatial scales, with relatively warm and wet (benign, productive) regions supporting greater numbers of species.

Making sense of ourselves and others: a contribution to the community-diversity debate [PDF]
In recent years, a debate has played out concerning the relationship between two of Community Psychology's core values: promoting diversity and promoting a sense of community.

Does functional soil microbial diversity contribute to explain within-site plant beta-diversity in an alpine grassland and a dehesa meadow in Spain? [PDF]
Questions: Once that the effects of hydrological and chemical soil properties have been accounted for, does soil microbial diversity contribute to explain change in plant community structure (i.e. within-site beta-diversity)?

Uterine Fibroid Patients Reveal Alterations in the Gut Microbiome
The gut microbiota is associated with reproductive disorders in multiple ways. This research investigated possible differences in gut microbiome compositions between patients with uterine fibroids (UFs) and healthy control subjects in order to further ...

Phytochemical diversity drives plant–insect community diversity [PDF]
Significance Phytochemical diversity is a key component of functional diversity. Challenges in quantifying phytochemical diversity have limited our understanding of the causes and consequences of variation in phytochemical diversity across plant species and families.

Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism is an “old school” reliable technique for swift microbial community screening in anaerobic digestion [PDF]
The microbial community in anaerobic digestion has been analysed through microbial fingerprinting techniques, such as terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP), for decades.

Characteristic Changes of Bioaerosols in Beijing and Tsogt-Ovoo During Dust Events
Dust events moving at high altitudes by westerly wind can transport aerosols from Asian deserts to eastern Asia deposition areas such as China. Aerosols do not include only mineral particles but also microbial particles, which are called bioaerosols, and
