Scale dependence in species turnover reflects variance in species occupancy
Ecology, 2012 Patterns of species turnover may reflect the processes driving community dynamics across scales. While the majority of studies on species turnover have examined pairwise comparison metrics (e.g., the average Jaccard dissimilarity), it has been proposed that the species–area relationship (SAR) also offers insight into patterns of species turnover ...

The island-mainland species turnover relationship. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2012 Many oceanic islands are notable for their high endemism, suggesting that islands may promote unique assembly processes. However, mainland assemblages sometimes harbour comparable levels of endemism, suggesting that island biotas may not be as unique as is often assumed.

Species turnover in plants does not predict turnover in flower-visiting insects. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Congruence between plant and insect diversity is considered possibly useful in conservation planning, as the better known plants could be surrogates for the lesser known insects. There has been little quantification of congruence across space, especially in biodiversity rich areas.

Climate change creates rapid species turnover in montane communities [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2015 AbstractRecent decades have seen substantial changes in patterns of biodiversity worldwide. Simultaneously, climate change is producing a widespread pattern of species’ range shifts to higher latitudes and higher elevations, potentially creating novel assemblages as species shift at different rates. However, the direct link between species’ turnover as

Species turnover in ant assemblages is greater horizontally than vertically in the world's tallest tropical forest [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Abiotic and biotic factors structure species assembly in ecosystems both horizontally and vertically. However, the way community composition changes along comparable horizontal and vertical distances in complex three‐dimensional habitats, and the factors

N:P stoichiometric changes via species turnover in arid versus saline desert environments [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Aridity and salinity have a key role in driving physiological and ecological processes in desert ecosystems. However, how community‐scale foliar nutrients respond to aridity and salinity, and how these responses might vary with community composition ...

Linking global turnover of species and environments [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2008 Patterns of species turnover are central to the geography of biodiversity and resulting challenges for conservation, but at broad scales remain relatively little understood. Here, we take a first spatially-explicitly and global perspective to link the spatial turnover of species and environments.

The primacy of species turnover over intraspecific variation in the environmental filtering of understory ferns [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionQuantifying community-level trait shifts, driven by species turnover and intraspecific trait variation (ITV), is essential for understanding environmental filtering and elucidating community assembly and species coexistence.

Widespread slowdown in short-term species turnover despite accelerating climate change [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsWhen the species composition of ecological communities changes over time, environmental drivers are often invoked as the most plausible explanation. Several lines of reasoning, however, suggest that such compositional change, called temporal species ...
