Species Richness and Endemism of Marsupials in the Atlantic Forest: Spatial Patterns and Drivers
The Atlantic Forest (AF) is one of the most important centers of New World marsupial diversity. Marsupial species are heterogeneously distributed...

Elevational and Latitudinal Species Richness Patterns of Dung Beetles in North and South America and the Role Played by Historical Factors
Using data from a number of studies on American dung beetles, we examine the latitudinal and elevational gradients in Scarabaeinae species richness...

Decapod fisheries and parasite species richness: an exploration of host traits and parasitic influence
Some hosts harbor more parasites than others. Overdispersion of parasitism suggests that coevolution with parasites may be more important to the...

Influence of canopy structural complexity on urban woodland butterfly species richness
As urban land use expands, understanding the conservation of biodiversity in urban settings becomes increasingly important. Urban areas contain a...

Rainy season decreases ground-dwelling ant richness, but increases the difference in species composition in a tropical relictual mountain forest
The structure of biological communities is strongly driven by climatic conditions (e.g. seasonality) and local factors (e.g. habitat structure). In...

Connectivity of stormwater ponds impacts Odonata abundance and species richness
ContextThe successful dispersal of an animal depends, partly, on landscape connectivity. Urbanization poses risks to dispersal activities by...

Lowland forest fragment characteristics and anthropogenic disturbances determine alien plant species richness and composition
Loss of habitat and biological invasion are the main threats to biodiversity. In intensive agricultural or urban landscapes, forest fragments, even...

Octocoral Forests: Distribution, Abundance, and Species Richness in Cuban Coral Reefs
Octocorals provide multiple ecosystem services in coral reefs. Currently, in tropical western Atlantic reefs, the ecological condition of stony coral...

Spatial non-stationarity in the distribution of fish species richness of tropical streams
Diversity gradients are observed for various groups of organisms. For fishes in streams, the water-energy, productivity, and temporal heterogeneity...

Experimental nutrient enrichment increases plankton taxonomic and functional richness and promotes species dominance overtime
In this study, we have shown that nutrient input in aquatic ecosystems has different impacts on the various facets of phytoplankton and zooplankton...

Overview: How Does Species Richness Increase?
In this final chapter, the diversification history of Ohomopterus since their colonization of Japan is reviewed, which contains allopatric...

New insights into the geographic patterns of functional role and taxonomic richness of ants from Mexico
AbstractOne approach to prioritise conservation efforts is to identify hotspots that are either species-rich or that harbour a high proportion of...

Are the same factors determining biodiversity in cities across different regions? Comparing drivers of urban bird richness patterns in Southern Asia vs. Western Europe
According to general urban ecological understanding, bird species richness declines in highly urban areas due to the increasing extent of built-up...

Species Richness of Helminth Communities in Relation to Host Abundance Variations (the Case of the Common Shrew Sorex araneus)
AbstractThe aim of this study was to compare the parameters of the parasite species richness in common shrew Sorex araneus during the periods of its...

Coral reef ecosystem–associated echinoderms (Echinodermata) at the Southern Mexican Pacific: species richness, distribution, and composition
Despite the high relevance of echinoderms in the Southern Mexican Pacific coral reef systems, there is no detailed analysis of their regional...

Species richness and ecological connectivity of the mammal communities in urban and peri-urban areas at Mexico City
Urban expansion has emerged as a pervasive driver of biodiversity loss in Mexican cities due to shifts in landscape composition and configuration....

Stacked machine learning models for predicting species richness and endemism for Mediterranean endemic plants in the Mareotis subsector in Egypt
An effective method for identifying species and evaluating the effects of changes caused by humans on specific species is the application of species...

Tree species richness influence productivity and anatomical characteristics in mixed fir-pine-beech forests
Tree species richness (SR) and stand structural diversity (SSD) have general positive influences on stand productivity, while several studies...

Tree mycorrhizal types and the interaction between tree and shrub species richness shape soil fungal communities in a subtropical forest in China
PurposeElucidating the interactions of above- and below-ground communities in forest ecosystems is of great importance for comprehending biodiversity...

Plant diversity promotes species richness and community stability of arthropods in organic farming
Trophic cascades among plants, herbivores, and natural enemies can be affected by agriculture planting shifts from complex (polyculture) to simple...
