Insects, 2019 Although elevational gradients of biodiversity have long been the topic of scientific research, information on patterns of, and processes that shape insect community structure across elevation is still lacking.

An information-theoretical measure of taxonomic diversity
Acta Biotheoretica, 2003 Traditional diversity indices are computed from the abundances of species present and are insensitive to taxonomic differences between species. However, a community in which most species belong to the same genus is intuitively less diverse than another ...

Patterns of taxonomic diversity among terrestrial isopods [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2015 The publication of the world catalog of terrestrial isopods some ten years ago by Schmalfuss has facilitated research on isopod diversity patterns at a global scale. Furthermore, even though we still lack a comprehensive and robust phylogeny of Oniscidea,

Changes in taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020 To better understand how ecosystems are changing, a multifaceted approach to measuring biodiversity that considers species richness (SR) and evolutionary history across spatial scales is needed. Here, we compiled 162 datasets for fish, bird and plant assemblages across the globe and measured how taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity changed

European bee diversity: Taxonomic and phylogenetic patterns [PDF]
Journal of Biogeography, 2023 AbstractAimWild bees still face striking shortfalls in knowledge of biodiversity in key regions of the world. This includes Europe, where despite a long tradition of data gathering, the continental scale distribution patterns of wild bees have not been systematically analysed to date. This study aims to characterise large‐scale biodiversity patterns to:

Functional and Taxonomic Diversity of Anaerobes in Supraglacial Microbial Communities. [PDF]
Microbiol Spectr, 2023 Recent evidence disclosed the presence of a potential niche for anaerobic microorganisms and anaerobic processes in supraglacial sediments (cryoconite), but a detailed description of the structure and functions of the anaerobic population is still lacking.

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 Habitat change affects both taxonomic and functional biodiversity, and beta-diversity is often used as a metric to describe these changes. Furthermore, spatially closer communities tend to have more similar species compositions (lower beta-diversity ...

Geographic patterns of taxonomic and phylogenetic β-diversity of aquatic angiosperms in China
Plant Diversity, 2023 China covers a vast territory harbouring a large number of aquatic plants. Although there are many studies on the β-diversity of total, herbaceous or woody plants in China and elsewhere, few studies have focused on aquatic plants.

TAXONOMIC DIVERSITY OF ISLAND BIOTAS [PDF]
Evolution, 1970 Students of biogeography since Darwin have focused disproportionately on oceanic islands. The prime bases for this interest have been the distinct forms which have evolved in the genetic isolation provided by islands and the ecological situation pertaining because the species successfully colonizing any island are but a small subset of the mainland ...
