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 ...

European bee diversity: Taxonomic and phylogenetic patterns
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:

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

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Biodiversity is a multifaceted concept covering different levels of organization from genes to ecosystems. Biodiversity has at least three dimensions: (a) Taxonomic diversity (TD): a measure that is sensitive to the number and abundances of species.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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

Multiple dimensions of functional diversity affect stream fish taxonomic β‐diversity
Freshwater Biology, 2022 Abstract When investigating metacommunity dynamics, functional differences among species are often assumed to be as important as environmental differences between sites in determining β‐diversity. However, few studies have examined the influence of functional diversity on β‐diversity.
