Environmental heterogeneity shapes the C and S cycling-associated microbial community in Haima's cold seeps [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Environmental heterogeneity in cold seeps is usually reflected by different faunal aggregates. The sediment microbiome, especially the geochemical cycling-associated communities, sustains the ecosystem through chemosynthesis.

Similar fish species composition despite larger environmental heterogeneity during severe hypoxia in a coastal ecosystem [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Environmental heterogeneity is one of the most influential factors that create compositional variation among local communities. Greater compositional variation is expected when an environmental gradient encompasses the most severe conditions where ...

What do We Mean by Environmental Heterogeneity? Toward A Mechanistically Explicit and Scale‐Dependent Framework [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionEnvironmental heterogeneity (EH) is widely recognized as a key driver of biodiversity, yet its conceptual foundations remain insufficiently structured. Here we present a semi‐systematic narrative synthesis of 360 studies retrieved from Web of Science and

The alpine scrubs and dwarf heaths of the Balkan Peninsula - an exceptional center of floristic richness and endemism [PDF]
Botanica Serbica, 2023 Alpine scrubs (Roso pendulinae-Pinetea mugo) and dwarf heaths (Loiseleurio procumbentis-Vaccinietea) are an exceptional assemblage of rich floristic units which contribute significantly to the overall diversity on the Balkan Peninsula.

Environmental factors determining the diversity of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) in arid, high-altitude environments in Northwestern Argentina [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Factors influencing the diversity of tenebrionid beetles in arid, high-altitude environments in the northwest of Argentina are little-known. Using pitfall traps and suction sampling in 30 sites, we collected these beetles in Altos Andes (AA) and Puna (PU)
