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

Microbial residence time is a controlling parameter of the taxonomic composition and functional profile of microbial communities. [PDF]

, 2019
A remaining challenge within microbial ecology is to understand the determinants of richness and diversity observed in environmental microbial communities.

Taxonomic and Functional Ant Diversity Along tropical, Subtropical, and Subalpine Elevational Transects in Southwest China

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.

Effects of abandonment on plant diversity in seminatural grasslands along soil and climate gradients [PDF]

, 2017
Questions: What are the effects of abandonment on plant diversity in semi-natural grasslands? Do the effects of abandonment on taxonomic and functional diversity vary along environmental gradients of climate and soil?

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 ...

Genetic diversity, taxonomy and legumins implications of seed storage protein profiling in Fabaceae [PDF]

, 2013
Proteomic evidences can be pivotal to the discovery of new plant proteins and plant relationships, due to the diversity of form it can reveal. Seed storage protein profiles of 20 Fabaceae species: 4 grain - legumes and 16 non-pulses; of 16 genera and 10 ...
