Amphibian Taxonomic and Functional Diversity in a Heterogeneous Landscape of West-Central Mexico

, 2022
Land use in Mexico has dramatically changed in recent decades since deforested lands have been repurposed for agriculture. We evaluated the amphibian taxonomic and functional diversity of a heterogeneous landscape with ten land cover/use types in west ...

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

Taxonomic resolution and Biological Traits Analysis (BTA) approaches in estuarine free-living nematodes [PDF]

, 2014
The taxonomic and functional structure of the subtidal nematode assemblages from a temperate estuary (Mondego estuary, Portugal) was studied, focussing on different taxonomic levels (genus, family and order), on single functional groups and on multiple ...

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 ...

Effects of Nutrient Levels and Rice Cultivation on Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Bacterial Communities in Flooded Soils of the Hanon Maar Crater, Korea

Agronomy, 2022
Agricultural land use may deteriorate soil bacterial diversity and function in an agroecosystem. This study aimed to explore the impact of agricultural disturbance on the taxonomic and functional diversity of soil bacteria using a high-throughput ...

Different response of the taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity of birds to forest fragmentation

Scientific Reports, 2020
Habitat fragmentation is considered as major threat to biodiversity worldwide. Biodiversity can be described as taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity.

Relative importance of deterministic and stochastic processes for beta diversity of bird assemblages in Yunnan, China

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.

Dominated Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Turnover but Functional Nestedness of Wetland Bird Beta Diversity in North China

Land, 2022
The decomposition of taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional beta diversity into their turnover and nestedness components could provide novel insights into biodiversity conservation, e.g., provide implications for the Single Large Or Several Small ...

Second-generation environmental sequencing unmasks marine metazoan biodiversity [PDF]

, 2010
Biodiversity is of crucial importance for ecosystem functioning, sustainability and resilience, but the magnitude and organization of marine diversity at a range of spatial and taxonomic scales are undefined.

Geographic patterns of taxonomic and phylogenetic β-diversity of angiosperm genera in regional floras across the world

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
