On four measures of taxonomic richness
Paleobiology, 2020AbstractThe choice of measures used to estimate the richness of species, genera, or higher taxa is a crucial matter in paleobiology and ecology. This paper evaluates four methods called shareholder quorum subsampling, true richness estimated using a Poisson sampling model (TRiPS), squares, and the corrected first-order jackknife (cJ1).

Reduced Taxonomic Richness of Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in Diving Birds
Journal of Parasitology, 2006Avian lice occupy different habitats in the host plumage that the physical environment outside the host body may affect in several ways. Interactions between host plumage and water may be an important source of such effects. Here, we use a comparative approach to examine the effect of a host's diving behavior on the taxonomic richness of its lice ...

Global moss diversity: spatial and taxonomic patterns of species richness
Journal of Bryology, 2013AbstractWe have analysed the global patterns of moss species diversity based on a dataset created from checklists, online databases, and herbarium records. We collected more than 100 000 distribution records for over 400 different geographical units and standardized species taxonomy using the TROPICOS database of the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2008
During the Oligocene and Miocene, shallow-water carbonates of the Mediterranean region were rich in scleractinian corals thriving within various depositional settings, including different reef types. Their diversity patterns, although related to a complex interplay between a suite of environmental factors and palaeobiogeography, are considered to be ...

On the taxonomic position ofSciaromium lacustreHerz. & Rich. in Rich.
Journal of Bryology, 1986Abstract Sciaromium lacustre Herz. & Rich. in Rich. from Peru is misplaced in Sciaromium and a new genus, Richardsiopsis, is erected to accommodate it. Richardsiopsis is considered most closely related to Donrichardsia macroneuron (Grout) Crum & Anderson from Texas on the basis of their similar gametophyte characters including the strong costa, oblong ...

Plant taxonomic richness and phylogenetic diversity across different cities in China
Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, 2019Abstract Analyses of the phylogenetic relatedness of plant communities in urban areas have great potential to inform future diversity planning in expanding or new urban areas. The influences affecting the number of taxa found in urban areas and their phylogenetic diversity remains unclear.

Changing Climate and Geographical Patterns of Taxonomic Richness
2014The geographic variation of taxonomic richness may be directly determined by climate through contemporaneous/ecological processes, versus other (e.g., historical/evolutionary processes) that happen to be collinear with contemporaneous climate. In Chapter 1 I evaluated hypotheses from both groups of explanations in North America.

Species richness of sawfly–host plant associations at higher taxonomic levels
Entomological Research, 2015AbstractInsect–plant interactions are important to understanding the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for most of the diverse plant‐feeding insects. We aggregated data on sawfly–host plant associations and other resource associations from existing sources to address the following questions: (i) Is there a general correlation between host diversity ...
