Global Taxonomic Diversity of Living Reptiles
PLoS ONE, 2013 Reptiles are one of the most ecologically and evolutionarily remarkable groups of living organisms, having successfully colonized most of the planet, including the oceans and some of the harshest and more environmentally unstable ecosystems on earth. Here, based on a complete dataset of all the world's diversity of living reptiles, we analyse lineage ...

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.

Ecosphere, 2021 Evaluating the relative importance of deterministic and stochastic processes underlying taxonomic and functional beta diversity is crucial in community ecology, because it can reveal the dominant processes of community assembly.

Plant Diversity, 2023 Beta diversity (β-diversity) is the scalar between local (α) and regional (γ) diversity. Understanding geographic patterns of β-diversity is central to ecology, biogeography, and conservation biology. A full understanding of the origin and maintenance of

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2020 Abstract As a process affecting animal communities, urbanization has been the subject of numerous studies. However, amphibians are still among the least studied vertebrate groups in urbanized landscapes. Generally, it has been found that the process of loss of amphibian diversity is nonrandom, with species from older evolutionary lines at greater ...

Ecología Austral, 2021 A successful restoration of riparian forests can recover the diversity of several groups of soil invertebrates. However, few studies have considered the recovery of the entire community of soil macrofauna and the relative effect in taxonomical and ...

A Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Classification of Diverse Base Editors
The CRISPR Journal, 2022 Base editors mediate the targeted conversion of single nucleobases in a therapeutically relevant manner. Herein, we present a hypothetical taxonomic and phylogenetic framework for the classification of more than 200 different DNA base editors, and we categorize them based on their described properties. Following evaluation of their
