Functional diversity outperforms taxonomic diversity in revealing short-term trampling effects. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 AbstractAlpine grasslands harbor diverse groups of flora and fauna, provide important ecosystem functions, and yield essential ecosystem goods and services, especially for the development of nature-based tourism. However, they are experiencing increasing anthropogenic perturbations such as tourist trampling.

Climate and plant community diversity in space and time. [PDF]
, 2020 Climate strongly shapes plant diversity over large spatial scales, with relatively warm and wet (benign, productive) regions supporting greater numbers of species.

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 ...

Genetic Heterogeneity and Taxonomic Diversity among Gardnerella Species [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2020 Gardnerella vaginalis has been considered a pivotal player in the progression of bacterial vaginosis (BV), a condition associated with serious health complications. However, G. vaginalis is also commonly found in asymptomatic or BV-negative women.

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.

A generalized framework for analyzing taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional community structure based on presence-absence data [PDF]
, 2018 Community structure as summarized by presence–absence data is often evaluated via diversity measures by incorporating taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional information on the constituting species.

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 ...

European bee diversity: Taxonomic and phylogenetic patterns
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:
