Cryptic animal species are homogeneously distributed among taxa and biogeographical regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Rodent species richness is correlated with carnivore species richness in Spain

open access: yesRevue 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.

Examining and addressing the Wallacean shortfall : species distribution modelling and biodiversity patterns of hawkmoths in the old world [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

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.

Latitudinal gradient in species richness [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

An African grassland responds similarly to long-term fertilization to the Park Grass experiment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
We compared the results of a long-term (65 years) experiment in a South African grassland with the world's longest-running ecological experiment, the Park Grass study at Rothamsted, U.K.

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.

Determinants of species richness in the Park Grass experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Park Grass Experiment at Rothamsted in southeast England was started in 1856, making it the longest-running experiment in plant ecology anywhere in the world.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Spatial relationships between above-ground biomass and bird species biodiversity in Palawan, Philippines.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
This study maps distribution and spatial congruence between Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) and species richness of IUCN listed conservation-dependent and endemic avian fauna in Palawan, Philippines. Grey Level Co-Occurrence Texture Matrices (GLCMs) extracted
