The map of biodiversity: From local to global scales

open access: yesMètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review, 2019
Species richness is not homogeneous in space and it normally presents differences when comparing among different sites. These differences often respond to gradients in one or several factors which create biodiversity patterns in space and are scale ...

Tree size predicts vascular epiphytic richness of traditional cultivated tea plantations in Southwestern China

open access: yesGlobal 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.

Global Patterns of Earwig Species Richness

open access: yesDiversity, 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.

Ground Beetles of Islands in the Western Basin of Lake Erie and the Adjacent Mainland (Coleoptera: Carabidae, Including Cicindelini) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We report 241 species representing 63 genera of ground beetles from the islands of the western basin of Lake Erie and selected mainland sites from a 1991-93 survey, plus specimens examined in public and private collections, and previously published ...

Database Species-Area Relationships in Palaearctic Grasslands [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity & Ecology, 2012
The Database Species-Area Relationships in Palaearctic Grasslands (GIVD ID EU-00-003) is an initiative of the European Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) and primarily functions as repository for all data sampled during the EDGG Research Expeditions. During these expeditions two types of highly standardised sampling of dry grassland vegetation in the ...

Area-Independent Effects of Water-Retaining Features on Intertidal Biodiversity on Eco-Engineered Seawalls in the Tropics

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Over the last decade there has been a global effort to eco-engineer urban artificial shorelines with the aim of increasing their biodiversity and extending their conservation value. One of the most common and viable eco-engineering approaches on seawalls

Body Size Poorly Predicts Host-Associated Microbial Diversity in Wild Birds

open access: yesMicrobiology 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 ...

Relationships between hydraulic traits and habitat preference for six Acer species occurring in the French Alps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Xylem hydraulic properties and vulnerability to cavitation were studied in six Acer species which occur, in the French Alps, along a soil moisture gradient from the moist valleys to the drier mountain stands.

Estimating the potential biodiversity impact of redeveloping small urban spaces: the Natural History Museum’s grounds [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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.

Species-time-area and phylogenetic-time-area relationships in tropical tree communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The species-area relationship (SAR) has proven to be one of the few strong generalities in ecology. The temporal analog of the SAR, the species-time relationship (STR), has received considerably less attention.
