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 ...

SPECIES: An R Package for Species Richness Estimation

open access: yesJournal 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.

Evidence that species richness begets species richness

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesAgric, 2021
In food chain of terrestrial ecosystem, ants have roles as predator of other arthropods, eater of seed, nectar, plant and aphid secreation, and fragmenter of dead organic matter.

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 ...

Are complementarity effects of species richness on productivity the strongest in species‐rich communities?

open access: yesJournal 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.
