Explanation of beta diversity in European alpine grasslands changes with scale
Ecosphere, 2022 The importance of environmental difference among sites and dispersal limitations of species to the explanation of diversity differs among biological systems and geographical regions.

Dispersal Limitations Matter for Microbial Morphospecies [PDF]
Science, 2006 In contrast with macroorganisms, whose geographical ranges are typically restricted, many microbial species appear to have cosmopolitan distributions. This observation has been explained as a consequence of ubiquitous dispersal caused by the enormous population sizes of microbial species.

Local-scale determinants of arboreal spider beta diversity in a temperate forest: roles of tree architecture, spatial distance, and dispersal capacity [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Spiders are a functionally important taxon in forest ecosystems, but the determinants of arboreal spider beta diversity are poorly understood at the local scale.

Dispersion and the speed-limited particle-in-cell algorithm [PDF]
Physics of Plasmas, 2021 This paper discusses temporally continuous and discrete forms of the speed-limited particle-in-cell (SLPIC) method first treated by Werner et al. [Phys. Plasmas 25, 123512 (2018)]. The dispersion relation for a 1D1V electrostatic plasma whose fast particles are speed-limited is derived and analyzed.

β-Diversity of functional groups of woody plants in a tropical dry forest in Yucatan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Two main theories have attempted to explain variation in plant species composition (β-diversity). Niche theory proposes that most of the variation is related to environment (environmental filtering), whereas neutral theory posits that dispersal ...
