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 ...

Determinants of species richness patterns in the Netherlands across multiple taxonomic groups [PDF]
, 2009 We examined the species richness patterns of five different species groups (mosses, reptiles and amphibians, grasshoppers and crickets, dragonflies, and hoverflies) in the Netherlands (41,500 km2) using sampling units of 5 × 5 km. We compared the spatial

Soil vs. canopy seed storage and plant species coexistence in species-rich Australian shrublands [PDF]
, 2007 The fire-prone shrublands of southwestern Australia are renowned for their high plant species diversity and prominence of canopy seed storage (serotiny).

Predicting coral species richness: the effect of input variables, diversity and scale. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Coral reefs are facing a biodiversity crisis due to increasing human impacts, consequently, one third of reef-building corals have an elevated risk of extinction.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Understanding species’ elevational distributions in mountain ecosystems is needed under climate change, but remote biodiverse mountain areas may be poorly documented. National Forest Inventories (NFIs) offer a potential source of data.

rich: An R Package to Analyse Species Richness [PDF]
Diversity, 2011 The paper describes rich, a new R package to perform species richness estimation and comparison. Species richness is the simplest surrogate for the more complex concept of species biodiversity. It is relatively easy to assess although estimations strongly depend on sampling intensity with the consequence that richness estimations should be standardized

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.

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 ...

Increased plant carbon translocation linked to overyielding in grassland species mixtures [PDF]
, 2012 Plant species richness and productivity often show a positive relationship, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, especially at the plant species level. We examined how growing plants in species mixture influences intraspecific rates of

A meta-analysis of fauna and flora species richness and abundance in plantations and pasture lands [PDF]
, 2010 We conducted a systematic global review of differences between timber plantations and pasture lands in terms of animal and plant species richness and abundance, and assessed the results using meta-analysis techniques.
