Phylogenetic Diversity Outperforms Functional Diversity in Predicting Aboveground Biomass Across Tree Strata in a Subtropical Forest [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionForest aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for maintaining global carbon balance, with its accumulation closely associated with biodiversity. However, the mechanisms by which these diversity effects take place, and which dimension of biodiversity that ...

DNA metabarcoding data from faecal samples of the lesser (Myotis blythii) and the greater (Myotis myotis) mouse-eared bats from Bulgaria [PDF]
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2023 A comprehensive understanding of trophic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems is crucial for ecological research and conservation. Recent advances in non-invasive methods, such as environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, have enabled researchers to ...

Persistence and Changes in Morphological Traits of Herbaceous Seeds Due to Burial in Soil
Agronomy, 2020 Seeds in soil banks can survive for many years before conditions become more suitable for germination. Meanwhile, seeds undergo changes in morphology and viability. In this study, we launched an artificial seed bank experiment that included 26 species of

Which Seed Properties Determine the Preferences of Carabid Beetle Seed Predators?
Insects, 2020 Ground beetles are important invertebrate seed predators in temperate agro-ecosystems. However, there is a lack of information regarding which seed properties are important to carabids when they select seeds for consumption.

Conserving ecological functions of frog communities in Borneo requires diverse forest landscapes
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Recent studies suggest that differences in species composition across habitat types lead to increased multifunctionality on the regional scale. However, data about species turnover—and especially complementarity in the functional composition—across ...
