Abundant and Rare Bacterial Taxa Structuring Differently in Sediment and Water in Thermokarst Lakes in the Yellow River Source Area, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Thermokarst lakes are forming from permafrost thaw and are severely affected by accelerating climate change. Sediment and water in these lakes are distinct habitats but closely connected. However, our understanding of the differences and linkages between

The declines of heterogeneity and stability in diatom communities are associated with human activity

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Anthropogenic forcing caused the biodiversity loss and stability decline of communities. There is still controversy over whether the decline in biodiversity will lead to a decrease in community stability.

Effects of species traits, motif profiles, and environment on spatial variation in multi‐trophic antagonistic networks

Ecosphere, 2020
Understanding drivers of antagonistic interactions across temporal and spatial scales is important for predicting community structure. In particular, studies examining spatial variation in ecological networks are critical for anticipating community ...

Introgression and rapid species turnover in sympatric damselflies [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Studying contemporary hybridization increases our understanding of introgression, adaptation and, ultimately, speciation. The sister species Ischnura elegans and I. graellsii (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) are ecologically, morphologically and genetically similar and hybridize. Recently, I.

Effects of environment and space on species turnover of woody plants across multiple forest dynamic plots in East Asia

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Species turnover is fundamental for understanding the mechanisms that influence large-scale species richness patterns. However, few studies have described and interpreted large-scale spatial variation in plant species turnover, and the causes of this ...

Quantifying multiple-site compositional turnover in an Afrotemperate forest, using zeta diversity

Forest Ecosystems, 2018
Background Species turnover is typically measured by partitioning diversity components into alpha and pairwise beta diversity. However, alpha and beta components cannot express the full spectrum of multiple-site compositional turnover.

Species richness-environment relationships of European arthropods at two spatial grains: habitats and countries [PDF]

, 2012
We study how species richness of arthropods relates to theories concerning net primary productivity, ambient energy, water-energy dynamics and spatial environmental heterogeneity.

Species richness is more important for ecosystem functioning than species turnover along an elevational gradient [PDF]

, 2021
Many experiments have shown that biodiversity enhances ecosystem functioning. However, we have little understanding of how environmental heterogeneity shapes the effect of diversity on ecosystem functioning and to what extent this diversity effect is ...

Waders (Aves, Charadriiformes) in a Mediterranean remnant wetland: a year-round pilot study evidences contrasting patterns in diversity metrics

Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2015
Around a yearly cycle (August 2011 - July 2012), we studied the assemblages of waders (Aves Charadriiformes) occurring in a Mediterranean remnant wetland, obtaining a set of diversity metrics.

Tetraenoic Species Are Conserved in Muscarinically Enhanced Inositide Turnover [PDF]

Journal of Neurochemistry, 1985
Abstract: Carbamylcholine enhances the labeling of phosphatidate and phosphatidylinositol from 32Pi in nerve endings. Approximately 74% of labeled phosphatidate and 85% of labeled phosphatidylinositol produced on muscarinic stimulation are accounted for by tetraenoic species, as detected by argentation TLC.
