Evidence that species richness begets species richness
Journal of Biogeography, 2023 AbstractAimThe variability in regional species richness is determined by the balance between speciation, extinction, and migration, but the underlying causes of high species richness in some regions (e.g. tropics, Mediterranean ecosystems) are challenging to explain. Species richness variability may be amplified by biotic feedbacks that promote species

Bats, Pathogens, and Species Richness [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 Bats carry many viruses, but this is not sufficient to threaten humans. Viruses must mutate to generate the ability to transfer to humans. A key factor is the diversity of species.

Generalized Species Richness Indices for Diversity
Entropy, 2022 A generalized notion of species richness is introduced. The generalization embeds the popular index of species richness on the boundary of a family of diversity indices each of which is the number of species in the community after a small proportion of ...

Estimating species richness using environmental
Ecology and Evolution, 2016 AbstractThe foundation for any ecological study and for the effective management of biodiversity in natural systems requires knowing what species are present in an ecosystem. We assessed fish communities in a stream using two methods, depletion‐based electrofishing and environmental DNA metabarcoding (eDNA) from water samples, to test the hypothesis ...

ANTS (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) WHICH WERE FOUND AT BENDOSARI PARK, SALATIGA

Global warming is causing a more pronounced dip in marine species richness around the equator
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance We use distribution data on 48,661 species to show that marine biodiversity has been responding to climate warming at a global scale. We show that marine species richness levels off or declines in latitudinal bands with average annual sea ...

Global patterns and drivers of alpine plant species richness
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021 Aim: Alpine ecosystems differ in area, macroenvironment and biogeographical history across the Earth, but the relationship between these factors and plant species richness is still unexplored. Here, we assess the global patterns of plant species richness

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.

Worldwide occurrence records suggest a global decline in bee species richness
, 2021 Summary Wild and managed bees are key pollinators, ensuring or enhancing the reproduction of a large fraction of the world's wild flowering plants and the yield of ∼85% of all cultivated crops.

Fish Species Richness in Polish Lakes
Diversity, 2023 Global warming, eutrophication, fisheries overexploitation, species invasions, and habitat loss are the major threats to freshwater biodiversity. The aim of this study was to determine the species richness and diversity of fish in 535 Polish lakes of ...
