ROV's Video Recordings as a Tool to Estimate Variation in Megabenthic Epifauna Diversity and Community Composition in the Guaymas Basin [PDF]
, 2020 Patterns in benthic megafauna diversity in littoral and intertidal zones in the Gulf of California have been associated with both habitat heterogeneity and substrate type.

Forest structural diversity is linked to soil microbial diversity
Ecosphere, 2023 Efforts to catalog global biodiversity have often focused on aboveground taxonomic diversity, with limited consideration of belowground communities. However, diversity aboveground may influence the diversity of belowground communities and vice versa.

The relationship between species richness and taxonomic distinctness in freshwater organisms [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2005 Taxonomic distinctness is a newer biodiversity measure that emphasizes the average taxonomic relatedness between species in a community. We examined whether species richness (SR) and taxonomic distinctness (TD) were significantly related and whether they showed similar environmental relationships in regional data sets for various groups of freshwater ...

Can taxonomic richness be used as a surrogate for phylogenetic distinctness indices for ranking areas for conservation? [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2003 Several methods have been proposed for evaluating area conservation priorities. Here the performance of traditional approaches (taxonomic richness) versus newer methods of phylogenetic distinctness is compared using the results and data from three ...
