Spatial Pattern of Species Richness among Terrestrial Mammals in China

open access: yesDiversity, 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 ...

The enigma of soil animal species diversity revisited: the role of small-scale heterogeneity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
"The enigma of soil animal species diversity" was the title of a popular article by J. M. Anderson published in 1975. In that paper, Anderson provided insights on the great richness of species found in soils, but emphasized that the mechanisms ...

Evenness alters the positive effect of species richness on community drought resistance via changing complementarity

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Biodiversity loss may decrease the resistance of ecosystems to disturbance. While many studies have tested the effects of species richness on the ability of communities to resist disturbance, few have considered the role of species evenness.

Diversity of Social Wasps in the Campus of the “Universidade Federal de Viçosa” in Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
Social wasps can be used as ecological indicators. However, the diversity of species of this group in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, is poorly studied, especially in anthropized environments.

Does residence time affect responses of alien species richness to environmental and spatial processes? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
One of the most robust emerging generalisations in invasion biology is that the probability of invasion increases with the time since introduction (residence time). We analysed the spatial distribution of alien vascular plant species in a region of north-

Bird species richness is associated with phylogenetic relatedness, plant species richness, and altitudinal range in Inner Mongolia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Bird species richness is mediated by local, regional, and historical factors, for example, competition, environmental heterogeneity, contemporary, and historical climate.

Species traits and the form of individual species–energy relationships [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Environmental energy availability explains much of the spatial variation in species richness at regional scales. While numerous mechanisms that may drive such total species–energy relationships have been identified, knowledge of their relative ...

Environmental determinants of aquatic plant diversity differ between growth forms and range sizes

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Aquatic plants are fundamental for aquatic ecosystems. Understanding variations in geographic patterns of aquatic plant diversity across growth forms is important for conservation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems.

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...
