Scientific Reports, 2021 Logging causes changes in habitat structure, which can potentially lead to variations in taxonomic and functional richness of biodiversity. Studies on how functional traits in birds are affected by logging operations can provide an important element for ...

Taxonomic and regional uncertainty in species-area relationships and the identification of richness hotspots [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 Species-area relationships (SARs) are fundamental to the study of key and high-profile issues in conservation biology and are particularly widely used in establishing the broad patterns of biodiversity that underpin approaches to determining priority areas for biological conservation.

Predicting landscape disturbance using adult Trichoptera: one (caddis) metric to rule them all? [PDF]
ZooKeysThe adult stage of Trichoptera is valuable for assessing the biotic integrity of streams; however, it is not clear which specific metric(s) have the greatest value for doing so.

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).

International Journal of Zoology, 2012 Applying multiple generalized regression models, we studied spatial patterns in species richness for different taxonomic groups (amphibians, reptiles, grasshoppers, plants, mosses) within the German federal state Rhineland-Palatinate (RP).

Plants, 2019 Plant attributes have direct and indirect effects on soil microbes via plant inputs and plant-mediated soil changes. However, whether plant taxonomic and functional diversities can explain the soil microbial diversity of restored forest ecosystems ...

How Biodiversity, Climate and Landscape Drive Functional Redundancy of British Butterflies
Insects, 2023 Biodiversity promotes the functioning of ecosystems, and functional redundancy safeguards this functioning against environmental changes. However, what drives functional redundancy remains unclear.

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.

Benthic macroinvertebrate community diversity of Montebello Lakes, Chiapas
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2019 Benthic macroinvertebrate community biodiversity of tropical lakes has been rarely addressed. The present study recognizes the taxonomic diversity of the deep benthic macroinvertebrate communities of 18 lakes of the Protected Natural Area "Lagunas de ...

Continental-scale analysis of taxonomic and functional fish diversity in the Yangtze river
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018 Effective conservation of ecosystems requires deep knowledge concerning multiple aspects of biodiversity including alpha and beta components of species richness, taxonomic, and functional diversity, as well as their relationships.
