Contrasting responses of functional diversity to major losses in taxonomic diversity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Global biodiversity consists not only of the sum of taxonomic units such as species, but also of their ecological or functional variety. These two components of biodiversity might be expected to rise or fall in tandem, but we find they are capable of strikingly independent behavior.

Dynamics of taxonomic diversity
Paleobiology, 1980A general model of taxonomic diversity, incorporating diversity-dependent rates of origination and extinction, is constructed to examine the dynamic responses of diversity to perturbation. The model predicts that the trajectories of diversification increase and decrease are substantially different.

Rarefaction and Taxonomic Diversity
Biometrics, 1982Rarefaction is a technique that corrects for unbalanced sample sizes, which are often a major problem in comparisons of diversity. The rarefaction curve is the expected number of higher taxonomic groups, such as families or genera, represented in a random selection of lower taxonomic units, such as species or individuals. The shapes of these curves are

Generation and Maintenance of Gradients in Taxonomic Diversity
Science, 1969Latitudinal gradients in diversity of organisms represent an equilibrium distribution for at least the last 270 × 10 6 years. Faunas endemic to tropical regions evolved significantly faster than extra-tropical faunas.

Taxonomic diversity in the biology of migration
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2014Migration is widespread across taxa and highly variable both within and among groups. There have been multiple efforts to synthesize migratory theory across groups and these frameworks benefit from the inclusion of diverse taxa. The objective of this partial series of the Canadian Journal of Zoology was to highlight taxonomic diversity in migration by ...

Measuring beta‐diversity from taxonomic similarity
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2007AbstractQuestion: The utility of beta (β‐) diversity measures that incorporate information about the degree of taxonomic (dis)similarity between species plots is becoming increasingly recognized. In this framework, the question for this study is: can we define an ecologically meaningful index of β‐diversity that, besides indicating simple species ...

Allergenic relationship between taxonomically diverse pollens
Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1995SummaryBackground Skin tests and tests for IgE antibodies show that subjects are usually sensitive to a number of different pollens, frequently from taxonomically diverse species which are assumed to be allergenically non‐crossreactive. This suggests that the presence of IgE antibody‐reactivity to an individual pollen may not necessarily have ...

Geminiviruses: Taxonomic Structure and Diversity in Genomic Organization
Recent Patents on Biotechnology, 2020Background: Geminiviridae is one of the best-characterized and hence, one of the largest plant-virus families with the highest economic importance. Its members characteristically have a circular ssDNA genome within the encapsidation of twinned quasi-icosaheadral virions (18-38 nm size-range).

Taxonomic diversity of anaerobic glycerol dissimilation in the Enterobacteriaceae
Research in Microbiology, 1995A total of 1,123 strains representing 128 taxa in the Enterobacteriaceae (named species or subspecies and genomic species) were screened for the presence of glycerol dehydrogenases and 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase. Only eight taxa, Citrobacter freundii sensu stricto, C. youngae, C. braakii, C.
