Temporal dynamics of aquatic communities and implications for pond conservation [PDF]
, 2012 Conservation through the protection of particular habitats is predicated on the assumption that the conservation value of those habitats is stable. We test this assumption for ponds by investigating temporal variation in macroinvertebrate and macrophyte ...

Benefits of host genetic diversity for resistance to infection depend on parasite diversity [PDF]
, 2010 Host populations with high genetic diversity are predicted to have lower levels of infection prevalence. This theory assumes that host genetic diversity results in variation in susceptibility and that parasites exhibit variation in infectivity. Empirical

Species Diversity--Scale Matters
Science, 2002 The marked gradient in species diversity between the equator (where it is highest) and the poles (where it is lowest) suggests a simple environmental explanation for this phenomenon. However, as Willis and Whittaker point out in their Perspective, the environmental variables driving species diversity are different depending on the size and time
