Hurricanes lead to declines in taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional richness and shifts in moth community composition

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Disturbances play a central role in shaping biodiversity, influencing both community structure and ecosystem function. The responses of biodiversity to disturbance are inherently multidimensional, often leading to shifts in taxonomic composition, functional traits, and evolutionary dynamics within biological communities.

Do water–energy dynamics drive plant species richness patterns on the high alpine Tibetan plateau?

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Knowledge on the spatial distribution of plant species richness and its associated factors is crucial for addressing several ecological problems. Climate factors have long been used to explain species richness patterns across space and time. In this study, we investigated how water and energy variables shape species richness patterns on the ...
