Diversity of Lacewings (Neuroptera) in an Altitudinal Gradient of the Tacaná Volcano, Southern Mexico

Insects, 2022
Neuroptera is an order of insects with a moderate diversity of species numbers yet a high between-family morphological diversity, which has a significant ecological role as a predator.

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 beta diversity of butterfly assemblages in an archipelago: relative importance of island characteristics, climate, and spatial factors

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Islands host a disproportionate fraction of global biodiversity and provide ideal systems for investigating the factors affecting patterns of biodiversity. However, islands are also vulnerable systems and epicenters of biodiversity loss.

Spatial Factors Outperform Local Environmental and Geo-Climatic Variables in Structuring Multiple Facets of Stream Macroinvertebrates’ β-Diversity

Animals, 2022
One of the key targets of community ecology and biogeography concerns revealing the variability and underlying drivers of biodiversity. Most current studies understand biodiversity based on taxonomic information alone, but few studies have shown the ...

Ant taxonomic and functional beta-diversity respond differently to changes in forest cover and spatial distance

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 ...

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 ...

R language-based methods for revealing taxonomic and functional diversity and tracing process of fish fauna

MethodsX, 2018
This paper presented the fish species richness at geographical unit of the Yangtze River. According to the fish taxonomic catalogs and biological traits, R language method was used to determine taxonomic diversity and functional diversity and the ...

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.

Seasonal patterns of taxonomic and functional beta diversity in submerged macrophytes at a fine scale

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Spatiotemporal variation in community composition is of considerable interest in ecology. However, few studies have focused on seasonal variation patterns in taxonomic and functional community composition at the fine scale. As such, we conducted seasonal
