Global hotspots and correlates of alien species richness across taxonomic groups [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017 El transporte mediado por el hombre más allá de las barreras biogeográficas ha llevado a la introducción y el establecimiento de especies exóticas en nuevas regiones de todo el mundo. Sin embargo, carecemos de una imagen global de la riqueza establecida de especies exóticas para múltiples grupos taxonómicos.

Climate-driven loss of taxonomic and functional richness in Brazilian Atlantic Forest anurans
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Climate change is one of the key drivers of the dramatic erosion of global biodiversity. Poikilothermic organisms, such as amphibians, are particularly prone to alterations in temperature and precipitation and are therefore expected to be severely ...

Functional richness outperforms taxonomic richness in predicting ecosystem functioning in natural phytoplankton communities [PDF]
Freshwater Biology, 2017 Abstract Recent studies clearly support a positive biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationship in phytoplankton. As taxon richness does not quantify functional diversity, functional approaches have been developed to link community functioning to diversity.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Local biodiversity has traditionally been estimated with taxonomic diversity metrics such as species richness. Recently, the concept of biodiversity has been extended beyond species identity by ecological traits determining the functional role of a ...

Land-use diversity predicts regional bird taxonomic and functional richness worldwide
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractUnveiling the processes that shape biodiversity patterns is a cornerstone of ecology. Land-use diversity (i.e., the variety of land-use categories within an area) is often considered an important environmental factor that promotes species richness at landscape and regional scales by increasing beta-diversity.

Environmental filtering and taxonomic relatedness underlie the species richness–evenness relationship [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 2016 We examined the relationship between species richness (S) and evenness (J) within a novel, community assembly framework. We hypothesized that environmental stress leads to filtering (increasing the proportional abundance of tolerant species) and taxonomic dispersion (decreasing the number of species within genera and families).

Linking structure and species richness to support forest biodiversity monitoring at large scales
Annals of Forest Science, 2023 Key message Authors have analyzed the possible correlation between measurements/indicators of forest structure and species richness of many taxonomic or functional groups over three regions of Germany.

Mammal and butterfly species richness in Chile: taxonomic covariation and history [PDF]
Revista chilena de historia natural, 2009 Comprender la distribucion espacial de la riqueza de especies es un aspecto de fundamental importancia para enfrentar la actual crisis que afecta a las biotas del mundo. En este sentido, el estudio de la covariacion taxonomica en el espacio nos da la posibilidad de identificar factores comunes que restringen la riqueza, ademas de ofrecer una ...
