, 2022 Many crustacean species are obligate associates of pocilloporid corals, where they feed, reproduce, and find shelter. However, these coral-associated crustaceans have been poorly studied in the eastern tropical Pacific.

Sea level, dinosaur diversity and sampling biases: investigating the ‘common cause’ hypothesis in the terrestrial realm [PDF]
, 2010 The fossil record is our primary window onto the diversification of ancient life, but there are widespread concerns that sampling biases may distort observed palaeodiversity counts.

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 ...

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 ...

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

Genomic diversity and taxonomic marker for Arcobacter species
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Arcobacter was recognized as an emerging enteropathogen and controversies regarding its classification persisted. This study aimed to reevaluate the taxonomy of Arcobacter utilizing the 16S rRNA gene, 23S rRNA gene, single-copy orthologous genes, as well as genomic indices such as Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization ...

DNA barcoding for community ecology--how to tackle a hyperdiverse, mostly undescribed Melanesian fauna. [PDF]
, 2012 Trigonopterus weevils are widely distributed throughout Melanesia and hyperdiverse in New Guinea. They are a dominant feature in natural forests, with narrow altitudinal zonation.

Trends in taxonomic and functional diversity over succession in tropical secondary forests
, 2023 Biodiverse tropical forests are declining rapidly, due in part to the appropriation of natural land for human use. There is an urgent need to better understand how biodiversity changes in response to this landscape transformation, and to find ...

Taxonomic and functional diversity change is scale dependent [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 AbstractEstimates of recent biodiversity change remain inconsistent, debated, and infrequently assessed for their functional implications. Here, we report that spatial scale and type of biodiversity measurement influence evidence of temporal biodiversity change.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Although the diversity–disturbance relationship has been extensively studied, the differences in responses of taxonomic vs. functional diversity to natural disturbances (i.e., fire) call for an improved understanding of this relationship.
