Assessment of the stream invertebrate β‐diversity along an elevation gradient using a bidimensional null model analysis [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
β‐Diversity, commonly defined as the compositional variation among localities that links local diversity (α‐diversity) and regional diversity (γ‐diversity), can arise from two different ecological phenomena, namely the spatial species turnover (i.e ...

A null model for microbial diversification. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2017
Significance When evolutionary histories of closely related microorganisms are reconstructed, the lineages often cluster into visibly recognizable groups. However, we do not know if these clusters represent fundamental units of bacterial diversity, such as “species,” nor do we know the nature of evolutionary and ecological forces that

A Panel Test of Purchasing Power Parity Under the Null of Stationarity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) is tested using a sample of real exchange rate data for twelve European countries. Acknowledging that Augmented Dickey Fuller tests have low power, we apply a Panel test that considers the null of stationarity and corrects

A null model for Pearson coexpression networks. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One, 2015
Abstract Gene coexpression networks inferred by correlation from high-throughput profiling such as microarray data represent a simple but effective technique for discovering and interpreting linear gene relationships. In the last years several approach have been proposed to tackle the problem of deciding when the resulting correlation ...

The Role Transition of Dietary Species Richness in Modulating the Gut Microbial Assembly and Postweaning Performance of a Generalist Herbivore

open access: yesmSystems, 2021
When facing a food shortage, generalist herbivores can respond by expanding their dietary species richness (DSR) to maximize energy collection, regardless of whether forages are preferred or not.

Dispersal Limitation Expands the Diversity of Coral Microbiome Metacommunity in the South China Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The coral microbiome is one of the most complex microbial biospheres. However, the ecological processes shaping coral microbiome community assembly are not well understood. Here, we investigated the abundance, diversity, and community assembly mechanisms

Spatial scale changes the relationship between beta diversity, species richness and latitude [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
The relationship between β-diversity and latitude still remains to be a core question in ecology because of the lack of consensus between studies. One hypothesis for the lack of consensus between studies is that spatial scale changes the relationship ...
