Bats, Pathogens, and Species Richness [PDF]

open access: yesPathogens, 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

open access: yesEntropy, 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 ...

Global Patterns of Earwig Species Richness

open access: yesDiversity, 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

open access: yesDiversity, 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 ...

Modelling Species Richness and Functional Diversity in Tropical Dry Forests Using Multispectral Remotely Sensed and Topographic Data

open access: yesRemote 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 ...

Estimating the spatial and temporal distribution of species richness within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

A direct comparison of the effects and mechanisms between species richness and genotype richness in a dominant species on multiple ecosystem functions

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Both species (interspecific) richness and genotype (intraspecific) richness of dominant species have significant effects on ecosystem functioning directly or indirectly by regulating plant community functional structure.

Urbanization and Human Population Favor Species Richness of Alien Birds

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
Human activities like urbanization and agriculture affect spatial biodiversity patterns. The presence and activities of humans richly benefit alien species, but native species usually decline in human-impacted areas.
