Evidence that species richness begets species richness
Journal of Biogeography, 2023 Abstract Aim The 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.

Journal of Ecology, 2021 Abstract How the relationship between species richness and productivity changes along environmental gradients remains poorly understood. We examined the context dependency of complementarity processes underpinning this relationship (biotic feedbacks, resource partitioning and facilitation) using the framework of Grime's (1973) humped‐back model.

Species richness-environment relationships of European arthropods at two spatial grains: habitats and countries [PDF]
, 2012 We study how species richness of arthropods relates to theories concerning net primary productivity, ambient energy, water-energy dynamics and spatial environmental heterogeneity.

Latitudinal gradient in Gnomeskelus species richness [PDF]
Arthropods, 2020 The Tropical Conservativism Hypothesis suggests processes of speciation, extinction and dispersal resulted in higher species richness at the tropics and declined away from the equator. Biogeographical Conservativism Hypothesis suggests that the processes

Comparative tests of ectoparasite species richness in seabirds [PDF]
, 2007 Background: The diversity of parasites attacking a host varies substantially among different host species. Understanding the factors that explain these patterns of parasite diversity is critical to identifying the ecological principles underlying ...

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 1997 Introductions of freshwater fish into French rivers have been carried out with increasing frequency in the last decades. Thus, the potential impact of these introductions is of major concern for biologists and fishery managers. Knowledge of the degree of

Diversity, 2022 Species richness is regarded as the core index of biogeography. Estimating the correlation between species richness and modern environmental factors will be of great significance for species conservation.

Mapping the species richness and composition of tropical forests from remotely sensed data with neural networks [PDF]
, 2006 The understanding and management of biodiversity is often limited by a lack of data. Remote sensing has considerable potential as a source of data on biodiversity at spatial and temporal scales appropriate for biodiversity management.
