Spatial patterns in species-rich sclerophyll shrublands of southwestern Australia [PDF]

, 2008
Question: The drivers of spatial patterning among plant species and the implications of those patterns for the structure and function of plant communities are of ongoing interest and debate.

Beyond Species Richness for Biological Conservation

Conservation Letters
Recent global policy developments have highlighted the need for straightforward, robust, and meaningful biodiversity metrics. However, much of conservation science is dominated by the use of a single metric, species richness, despite several known ...

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

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.

More endemic birds occur in regions with stable climate, more plant species and high altitudinal range in China

Avian Research, 2020
Background Geographical distribution of endemic species and its multiple scale drivers are an important topic in biodiversity conservation, because these species are especially vulnerable to climate change and habitat degradation, and therefore have high

Conservation-relevant plant species indicate arthropod richness across trophic levels: Habitat quality is more important than habitat amount

Ecological Indicators, 2023
The massive declines in terrestrial arthropods reported across Europe call for effective methods to monitor and promote biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

BUGS in the analysis of biodiversity experiments: species richness and composition are of similar importance for grassland productivity [PDF]

, 2011
The idea that species diversity can influence ecosystem functioning has been controversial and its importance relative to compositional effects hotly debated.

SPECIES: An R Package for Species Richness Estimation

Journal of Statistical Software, 2011
We introduce an R package SPECIES for species richness or diversity estimation. This package provides simple R functions to compute point and confidence interval estimates of species number from a few nonparametric and semi-parametric methods.

The relationship between elevation and seed-plant species richness in the Mt. Namjagbarwa region (Eastern Himalayas) and its underlying determinants

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Understanding how species richness changes along altitudinal gradients and what mechanisms answer for those patterns has intrigued increasing attention from numerous researchers, however, there is still no consistent agreement on these questions.
