Species diversity: a personal retrospect [PDF]
Eddy van der Maarel, a founding editor of Journal of Vegetation Science and Applied Vegetation Science, and an Honorary Member of the International Association for Vegetation Science, recently celebrated his 80th birthday. On this occasion, we are delighted to publish his guest editorial, a personal view on species diversity.

A Robust, Simple Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) Approach for High Diversity Species
Advances in next generation technologies have driven the costs of DNA sequencing down to the point that genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) is now feasible for high diversity, large genome species.

Of beta diversity, variance, evenness, and dissimilarity [PDF]
The amount of variation in species composition among sampling units or beta diversity has become a primary tool for connecting the spatial structure of species assemblages to ecological processes.

Explaining local species diversity
In this paper we examine the explanations for local species diversity. Using six extensive data-sets for drosophilid flies (which include both temperate and tropical species) we compare three major categories of explanation (Cornell & Lawton 1992): niche heterogeneity (resource partitioning), spatial heterogeneity (intraspecific aggregation), and the ...

Updates on mechanisms of maintenance of species diversity
A quantitative approach to species coexistence based on the invasibility criterion has led to an appreciation of coexistence mechanisms in terms of stabilizing and equalizing components, but major challenges are the need to consider general multispecies ...

Subtidal macrozoobenthos communities from northern Chile during and post El Niño 1997–1998
Despite a large amount of climatic and oceanographic information dealing with the recurring climate phenomenon El Niño (EN) and its well known impact on diversity of marine benthic communities, most published data are rather descriptive and consequently ...

Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Inhabiting Stands of Reed Canary Grass Phalaris Arundinacea on Islands in the Lower Chippewa River, Wisconsin [PDF]
We used pitfall traps to assess ground beetle diversity (Coleoptera:Carabidae) on two islands in the lower Chippewa River, Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, with rapidly expanding populations of reed canary grass, Phalaris arundinaceae.

Does habitat stability structure intraspecific genetic diversity? It’s complicated... [PDF]
Regional phylogeographic studies have long been conducted in the southeastern United States for a variety of species. With some exceptions, many of these studies focus on single species or single clades of organisms, and those considering multiple ...
