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

Cryptic animal species are homogeneously distributed among taxa and biogeographical regions [PDF]
, 2007 Background Cryptic species are two or more distinct but morphologically similar species that were classified as a single species. During the past two decades we observed an exponential growth of publications on cryptic species. Recently published reviews

Ecological 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.

Rodent species richness is correlated with carnivore species richness in Spain
Revue d'Écologie (La Terre et La Vie), 2010 Résumé. — La richesse spécifique des rongeurs et celle des carnivores sont corrélées en Espagne. — La diversité des niches écologiques favorise la coexistence des espèces, accroissant la richesse spécifique. La richesse spécifique des carnivores devrait donc croître avec celle de leurs proies, en raison des niches trophiques ainsi ouvertes.

A standardised sampling protocol for robust assessment of reach-scale fish community diversity in wadeable New Zealand streams [PDF]
, 2010 The New Zealand fish fauna contains species that are affected not only by river system connectivity, but also by catchment and local-scale changes in landcover, water quality and habitat quality.

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

Examining and addressing the Wallacean shortfall : species distribution modelling and biodiversity patterns of hawkmoths in the old world [PDF]
, 2013 The geographic distribution of the species is one of the basic units of information in ecology and biogeography, yet for the vast majority of the species in the world is quite unknown. It is a phenomenon called the Wallacean shortfall.

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.
