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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Estimating the spatial and temporal distribution of species richness within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Evidence for significant losses of species richness or biodiversity, even within protected natural areas, is mounting. Managers are increasingly being asked to monitor biodiversity, yet estimating biodiversity is often prohibitively expensive.

Diversity, 2022 Estimation of biodiversity patterns in poorly known areas is hampered by data availability and biased collecting efforts. To overcome the former, patterns can be estimated at higher taxonomic levels and larger spatial units.

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 Habitat change affects both taxonomic and functional biodiversity, and beta-diversity is often used as a metric to describe these changes. Furthermore, spatially closer communities tend to have more similar species compositions (lower beta-diversity ...

Botanical Sciences, 2019 Background: Historical and contemporary climates may shape the distributional patterns of plant species richness across different scales. However, few studies have focused on the effects of historical and contemporary climate changes on the ...

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.
