Taxonomic distinctness and environmental assessment [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 1998 The objectives of this paper are to test the performance of the taxonomic distinctness index, δ+, in a number of environmental impact scenarios, to examine its relationship with functional diversity and to examine the influence of habitat type and ...

Isoëtes sabatina (Isoëtaceae, Lycopodiopsida): Taxonomic distinctness and preliminary ecological insights [PDF]
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2021 Isoëtes sabatina is the rarest aquatic quillwort in Europe. Although recently found (2013) in Lake Bracciano (central Italy), the species is just one step away from extinction with an estimated population not exceeding 400 individuals and a spatial range

A taxonomic distinctness index and its statistical properties [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 1998 For biological community data (species-by-sample abundance matrices), Warwick & Clarke (1995) defined two biodiversity indices, capturing the structure not only of the distribution of abundances amongst species but also the taxonomic relatedness of the ...

Taxonomic diversity and distinctness indices in assessment of weed communities
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 This paper contains an analysis of taxonomic weed biodiversity in the cultivation of spring barley in the period of 1990-2004, grown in crop rotation after potato with a 25% share of this cereal (potato - spring barley - field pea - winter triticale) as ...

Taxonomic distinctness and species richness as measures of functional structure in bird assemblages
Oecologia, 2001 Most traditional "biodiversity" indices have an uncertain ecological interpretation, unfavourable sampling properties, and excessive data requirements.

Taxonomic distinctness and conservation of a new high biodiversity subterranean area in Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015 Subterranean environments, even though they do not possess a primary production (photosynthesis), may present high biodiversity, faunistic originality, endemism, phylogenetic isolations and unique ecological and/or evolution events, in addition to rare ...

Taxonomic distinctness in the diet of two sympatric marine turtle species
Marine Ecology, 2016 Marine turtles are considered keystone consumers in tropical coastal ecosystems and their decline through overexploitation has been implicated in the deterioration of reefs and seagrass pastures in the Caribbean. In the present study, we analysed stomach

Taxonomically and Functionally Distinct Ciliophora Assemblages Inhabiting Baltic Sea Ice [PDF]
Microbial Ecology, 2021 AbstractCiliophora is a phylum of unicellular eukaryotes that are common and have pivotal roles in aquatic environments. Sea ice is a marine habitat, which is composed of a matrix of solid ice and pockets of saline water in which Ciliophora thrive.
