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 ...

Species richness, abundance and phenology of fungal fruit bodies over 21 years in a Swiss forest plot [PDF]
, 2001 Fungal fruit bodies were surveyed on a plot area of 1500 m2 from 1975¿99 (excluding 1980¿83) in the fungal reserve La Chaneaz in western Switzerland. Fruit bodies were identified and counted on a weekly basis.

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

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

The effect of elevation on species richness in tropical forests depends on the considered lifeform: results from an East African mountain forest [PDF]
, 2019 Elevation gradients in tropical forests have been studied but the analysis of patterns displayed by species richness and elevation have received little attention.

Contrasting multi-taxa diversity patterns between abandoned and non-intensively managed forests in the southern Dolomites [PDF]
, 2017 The abandonment of silvicultural activities can lead to changes in species richness and composition of biological communities, when compared to those found in managed forests.

Spatial Pattern of Species Richness among Terrestrial Mammals in China
Diversity, 2020 We describe large-scale patterns of terrestrial mammal distribution in China by using geographical information system (GIS) spatial analysis. Mammal taxa, examined by species, family, and order, were binned into 10 km × 10 km grids to explore the ...
