Estimating the spatial and temporal distribution of species richness within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Evidence for significant losses of species richness or biodiversity, even within protected natural areas, is mounting. Managers are increasingly being asked to monitor biodiversity, yet estimating biodiversity is often prohibitively expensive.

Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Species richness is the core of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research. Nevertheless, it is difficult to accurately predict changes in plant species richness under different climate scenarios, especially in alpine biomes.

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 ...

SPECIES: An R Package for Species Richness Estimation [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Software, 2011 We introduce an R package SPECIES for species richness or diversity estimation. This package provides simple R functions to compute point and confidence interval estimates of species number from a few nonparametric and semi-parametric methods.

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.

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 ...

Main predictors of periphyton species richness depend on adherence strategy and cell size. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Periphytic algae are important components of aquatic ecosystems. However, the factors driving periphyton species richness variation remain largely unexplored.

Remote Sensing, 2022 Efforts to assess and understand changes in plant diversity and ecosystem functioning focus on the analysis of taxonomic diversity. However, the resilience of ecosystems depends not only on species richness but also on the functions (responses and ...
