Area, isolation, disturbance and age effects on species richness of summer waterbirds in post-mining subsidence lakes, Anhui, China

Avian Research, 2018
Background The species–area relationship is one of the best documented patterns in community ecology. Factors influencing species–area relationship are still not well understood.

Global priorities for conservation across multiple dimensions of mammalian diversity [PDF]

, 2017
Conservation priorities that are based on species distribution, endemism, and vulnerability may underrepresent biologically unique species as well as their functional roles and evolutionary histories.

Species–area relationships in continuous vegetation: Evidence from Palaearctic grasslands [PDF]

Journal of Biogeography, 2019
AbstractAimSpecies–area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power laws best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes at finer spatial grains in continuous vegetation.

Hummingbird–Plant Interactions Are More Specialized in Forest Compared to Coffee Plantations

Diversity, 2020
Deforestation transforms habitats, displacing vertebrates and the other dimensions of biodiversity they support through their interactions. Few empirical studies have quantified the effect deforestation has on vertebrate–pollinator interaction networks ...

Plot size matters: Toward comparable species richness estimates across plot‐based inventories

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
To understand the state and trends in biodiversity beyond the scope of monitoring programs, biodiversity indicators must be comparable across inventories. Species richness (SR) is one of the most widely used biodiversity indicators.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

The impact of the species-area relationship on estimates of paleodiversity. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2005
Estimates of paleodiversity patterns through time have relied on datasets that lump taxonomic occurrences from geographic areas of varying size per interval of time. In essence, such estimates assume that the species-area effect, whereby more species are

Bryophyte richness of soil islands on rocky outcrops is not driven by island size or habitat heterogeneity

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018
The species-area relationship (SAR) is one of the oldest and most studied ecological models, having even served as the foundation of the Theory of Island Biogeography.
