Species Richness and Beta Diversity Patterns of American Marsupials
Understanding the causes of spatial variation in biodiversity is a prominent issue in ecology and biogeography. Here, the species richness and the...

Patterns of Plant Species Richness Across the Himalayan Treeline Ecotone
Treeline ecotones, the transition zone between the upper closed forest limit (timberline) and treeless alpine vegetation, are the most conspicuous...

Housing or habitat: what drives patterns of avian species richness in urbanized landscapes?
ContextConservation of biodiversity in cities depends on ecologically sensitive urban planning, informed by an understanding of patterns of species...

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...

Plant species richness increase across crop field–dry grassland edges masks diverging patterns in generalists and specialists
ContextThere is an urgent need to stop the biodiversity loss in European agricultural landscapes. These landscapes, due to their fragmentation,...

Butterfly community structure in belize: species richness patterns reveal the role of climate gradients in sha** butterfly community structure and strategies for long-term conservation
To produce insights into the nature of butterfly communities in Belize and potential strategies for their conservation, we analyzed a data set of...

Global patterns and predictors of primary freshwater crab richness across taxa and realms
Freshwater ecosystems are among the most important in the world and provide essential functions and services to humans. In this study, we examine the...

Map** density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora
Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree...

Species richness and network topology patterns in Neotropical plant-galling communities changes along an urbanization gradient
AbstractThe conversion and fragmentation of natural environments in urban areas can have major consequences on species diversity and ecological...

Diversifying modelling techniques to disentangle the complex patterns of species richness and diversity in the protected afromontane grasslands
Ecological research has focused on the importance of environmental factors on spatial biodiversity variations and organisation. This is important...

Tree Species Diversity and Richness Patterns Reveal High Priority Areas for Conservation in Eswatini
The Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) is characterized by high plant species richness and endemism. In this study, stacked species...

Species richness patterns and community structure of land snail communities along an urban-rural gradient in river floodplains
Urbanisation is widely considered as having a large impact on most native species. However, the species response to urbanisation varies among...

Environmental drivers of species richness in shallow-water gorgonians (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) from the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Species richness, defined as the number of species within a specific area, exhibits spatial variation at most spatial scales. The drivers behind...

Hydrological conditions determine shifts of plankton metacommunity structure in riverine floodplains without affecting patterns of species richness along connectivity gradients
In riverine floodplains, the hydrological connectivity of the aquatic habitats with the main channel is paramount for aquatic metacommunities, as it...

Assessing the relation between geodiversity and species richness in mountain heaths and tundra landscapes
ContextRecent studies show that geodiversity—the diversity of Earth's landforms, materials, and processes—has a positive relationship with...

Predicting amphibian and reptile distributions and species richness across urban parks in the eastern United States
Urban parks and greenspaces protect biodiversity in cities and provide important opportunities for city residents to interact with wildlife. We used...
