Urbanization and Human Population Favor Species Richness of Alien Birds
Diversity, 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.

Ecology 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.

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.

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.

Predicting microbial species richness [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 Microorganisms are spectacularly diverse phylogenetically, but available estimates of their species richness are vague and problematic. For example, for comparable environments, the estimated numbers of species range from a few dozen or hundreds to tens of thousands and even half a million. Such estimates provide no baseline information on either local

The Impact of Mutualisms on Species Richness
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2019 Mutualisms - cooperative interactions among different species - are known to influence global biodiversity. Nevertheless, theoretical and empirical work has led to divergent hypotheses about how mutualisms modulate diversity. We ask here when and how mutualisms influence species richness.

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

Testing the causal mechanism of the peninsular effect in passerine birds from South Korea.
PLoS ONE, 2021 The peninsular effect is a geographical phenomenon that explains patterns of species richness. Given that spatial variation in species richness along a peninsular may be driven by multiple processes, we aimed to identify the sources of latitudinal ...

Latitudinal gradient in species richness [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 What is the gradient? Amongst the earliest remarked, and best documented, of broad-scale spatial patterns of life on Earth is a trend for more species to be found towards lower latitudes. The latitudinal gradient in species richness is such that most extant eukaryote, perhaps also prokaryote, species are found in the tropics.
