Phylogenetic Structure of Tree Species across Different Life Stages from Seedlings to Canopy Trees in a Subtropical Evergreen Broad-Leaved Forest.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Investigating patterns of phylogenetic structure across different life stages of tree species in forests is crucial to understanding forest community assembly, and investigating forest gap influence on the phylogenetic structure of forest regeneration is

Influence of Last Glacial Maximum legacies on functional diversity and community assembly of extant Chinese terrestrial vertebrates

open access: yesThe Innovation, 2023
Contemporary biodiversity patterns are shaped by not only modern climate but also factors such as past climate fluctuations. Investigating the relative degree of paleoclimate legacy could help us understand the formation of current biodiversity patterns.

Analysis of species and phylogenetic β diversity drivers in the Masson pine forests in Suichang, Zhejiang Province

open access: yesGuangxi Zhiwu, 2023
Habitat filtering and dispersal limitation are the main ecological processes affecting species composition variation (β diversity) in forest communities, but their relative importance in subtropical Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) forests remains unclear.

Population genomics of emerging Elizabethkingia anophelis pathogens reveals potential outbreak and rapid global dissemination

open access: yesEmerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
Elizabethkingia anophelis is an emerging species and has increasingly been reported to cause life-threatening infections and even outbreaks in humans. Nevertheless, there is little data regarding the E.

Influence of Association Network Properties and Ecological Assembly of the Foliar Fugal Community on Crop Quality

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Revealing community assembly and their impacts on ecosystem service is a core issue in microbial ecology. However, what ecological factors play dominant roles in phyllosphere fungal community assembly and how they link to crop quality are largely unknown.

Current biogeographical roles of the Kunlun Mountains

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Large‐scale patterns of biodiversity and formation have garnered increasing attention in biogeography and macroecology. The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) is an ideal area for exploring these issues. However, the QTP consists of multiple geographic subunits,

Probability of outbreaks and cross-border dissemination of the emerging pathogen: a genomic survey of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
The emerging infectious agent Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is associated with life-threatening infections in immunocompromised individuals. However, there are limited data on its geographic distribution, phylogenetic evolution, pathogenesis, and ...

A phylogenetic and trait‐based analysis of community assembly in a subtropical forest in central China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Despite several decades of study in community ecology, the relative importance of the ecological processes that determine species co‐occurrence across spatial scales remains uncertain.

Phylogenetic diversity and structure in moist and dry upland forests in the semi-arid region of Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2023
Understanding the factors influencing variation in the diversity and structure of rich biological communities (e.g., Neotropical upland forests) is essential in the context of climate change.
