Global Ecology and Conservation, 2017 Species–area relationship has been widely addressed on many plant communities, but very few have conducted on epiphytic communities. Epiphytic plants are plentiful on ancient tea trees (Camelia sinensis var.

A standardised sampling protocol for robust assessment of reach-scale fish community diversity in wadeable New Zealand streams [PDF]
, 2010 The New Zealand fish fauna contains species that are affected not only by river system connectivity, but also by catchment and local-scale changes in landcover, water quality and habitat quality.

Global Patterns of Earwig Species Richness
Diversity, 2022 One of the most investigated patterns in species diversity is the so-called latitudinal gradient, that is, a decrease in species richness from the equator to the poles.

What is a tree in the mediterranean basin hotspot? A critical analysis [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant species worldwide and they play a crucial role in the global functioning of the biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots, and it is estimated that forests

Estimating the potential biodiversity impact of redeveloping small urban spaces: the Natural History Museum’s grounds [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background With the increase in human population, and the growing realisation of the importance of urban biodiversity for human wellbeing, the ability to predict biodiversity loss or gain as a result of land use change within urban settings is important.

Body Size Poorly Predicts Host-Associated Microbial Diversity in Wild Birds
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 The composition and diversity of avian microbiota are shaped by many factors, including host ecologies and environmental variables. In this study, we examine microbial diversity across 214 bird species sampled in Malawi at five major body sites: blood ...

Species elevational richness gradient and species-area relationship in mountain vegetation of Javakheti highland (Georgia) [PDF]
Caucasiana, 2023 Elevational gradients in species richness and species-area relationships are among the most interesting patterns in ecology and biogeography. Both patterns can be characteristic of the same system; however, current knowledge of how these patterns co ...

The species-area relationship and evolution
, 2006 Models relating to the Species-Area curve are usually defined at the species level, and concerned only with ecological timescales. We examine an individual-based model of co-evolution on a spatial lattice based on the Tangled Nature model, and show that ...
