Spatial and phylogenetic distribution of the genera of the Heliantheae tribe (Asteraceae) in Mexico

Botan‪ical Sciences
Background: Biodiversity is described considering its alpha (local taxon richness), beta (difference of taxa between localities), or gamma (regional richness) components. We assessed the alpha component using different facets, taxonomic and phylogenetic.

Biodiversity, Ecological Status and Ecosystem Attributes of Agricultural Ditches Based on the Analysis of Macroinvertebrate Communities

Diversity
Ditches are widespread and common elements of the agricultural landscape. Although they can provide habitats for aquatic biodiversity, their ecosystem integrity and processes are generally limited or even unknown due to anthropogenic pressures and the ...

Fish Alone Are Not Enough: Zoobenthos Improves Water Quality Assessment in Impacted Rivers

Fishes
This study examines fish communities in the heavily impacted Bistrița River, located in the Eastern Carpathians of Romania, where diffuse pollution from mining, domestic wastewater, agricultural and forestry activities emerged as the most severe ...

Body size and trophic structure explain global asymmetric response of tetrapod diversity to climate effects

Ecology and Evolution
Although climate‐based hypotheses are widely used to explain large‐scale diversity patterns, they fall short of explaining the spatial variation among taxonomic groups.

Mapler: Assessing assembly quality in taxonomically rich metagenomes sequenced with HiFi reads

Abstract Summary Metagenome assembly seeks to reconstruct the most high-quality genomes from sequencing data of microbial ecosystems. Despite technological advancements that facilitate assembly, such as Hi-Fi long reads, the process remains challenging in complex environmental samples consisting of ...
