Environmental and Human Controls of Ecosystem Functional Diversity in Temperate South America [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2013 The regional controls of biodiversity patterns have been traditionally evaluated using structural and compositional components at the species level, but evaluation of the functional component at the ecosystem level is still scarce.

How Rich is Too Rich? Measuring the Riches Line [PDF]
Social Indicators Research, 2020 AbstractIs it possible to identify a ‘riches line’, distinguishing the ‘rich’ from the ‘super-rich’? Recent work in political philosophy suggests that this istheoreticallypossible. This study examines for the first time theempiricalplausibility of a riches line, based on novel data collected from a representative sample of the Dutch population.

Communities of Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in the Steppe of Mongolia
Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2021 We studied the community structure of dung beetles in livestock dung within the steppe ecosystem of Mongolia. We found 15 species of dung beetles belonging to three families and representing two functional guilds, namely paracoprids and endocoprids.

Estimating the spatial and temporal distribution of species richness within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. [PDF]
, 2014 Evidence for significant losses of species richness or biodiversity, even within protected natural areas, is mounting. Managers are increasingly being asked to monitor biodiversity, yet estimating biodiversity is often prohibitively expensive.

Biodiversity and integration of ecological characteristics of species in spatial pattern analysis [PDF]
Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management, 2021 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Assessment of biodiversity is a key factor in understanding of function and ecosystem management. Nevertheless, an operating procedure for assessing biodiversity and spatial pattern has not been established yet. Therefore, this

Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]
, 2020 Species richness is the core of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research. Nevertheless, it is difficult to accurately predict changes in plant species richness under different climate scenarios, especially in alpine biomes.
