How important is passive sampling to explain species-area relationships? A global synthesis
ContextThe species-area relationship (SAR) is one of the main patterns in Ecology, but its underlying causes are still under debate. The random...

Complex ecological communities and the emergence of island species-area relationships
It has been a century since the species-area relationship (SAR) was first proposed as a power law to explain how species richness scales with area....

Island Formation History Determines Microbial Species-Area Relationships
The species-area relationship (SAR) and its mechanisms regarding microbes are not as clear as those of plants and animals; this may result from the...
-
Area modulates the effect of elevation but not of land use or canopy on tropical plant species richness
One of the few general patterns in ecology is the increase of species richness with area. However, factors driving species-area relationship (SAR)...

Influence of urbanization on the avian species-area relationship: insights from the breeding birds of Rome
The species-area relationship (SAR) is one of the most investigated patterns in ecology and conservation biology, yet there is no study testing how...

Misidentification of Macrotyloma sar-garhwalensis R.D.Gaur & L.R.Dangwal and its implication in horsegram germplasm management
Correcting taxonomic misidentifications is crucial to ensuring the conservation and use of wild relatives in crop breeding programmes. Macrotyloma...

Structure and Dynamics of Geographic Ranges
Species’ geographic ranges are the basic unit for many macroecological and biogeographical analyses. In this chapter, we start by discussing the...

Temporal dynamics of the microbial heterogeneity–diversity relationship in microcosmic systems
Spatial heterogeneity significantly enhances biodiversity, representing one of the ecology's most enduring paradigms. However, many studies have...

Carbon stock estimation by dual-polarized synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and forest inventory data in a Mediterranean forest landscape
Forest ecosystems play a crucial role in mitigating global climate change by forming massive carbon sinks. Their carbon stocks and stock changes need...

Management is more important than urban landscape parameters in sha** orthopteran assemblages across green infrastructure in a metropole
Urbanisation significantly shapes species abundance, diversity, and community structure of invertebrate taxa but the impact on orthoptera remains...

Examining the generality of the biphasic transition from niche-structured to immigration-structured communities
Theoretical and empirical studies suggest that as immigration increases, ecological communities transition from a niche-structured regime to an...

Improved estimation of aboveground biomass of regional coniferous forests integrating UAV-LiDAR strip data, Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imageries
BackgroundForest aboveground biomass (AGB) is not only the basis for estimating forest carbon storage, but also an important parameter for evaluating...

Girt by dirt: island biogeography and relationships between invertebrate richness and wetted area of spring wetlands
Island biogeography is based on the idea that the larger an island, and the less it is isolated from other areas, the higher the biodiversity it...

Diatom metacommunity processes in thermo-mineral springs in the Auvergne Region, France
Thermo-mineral springs are specific ecosystems with extreme environmental conditions that constitute interesting models for studying metacommunity...

Spatial patterns of phylogenetic and species diversity of Fennoscandian vascular plants in protected areas
Protected areas are one of the main strategic means for conserving biodiversity. Yet, the design of protected areas usually neglects phylogenetic...

QSAR analysis of five generations of cephalosporins to establish the structural basis of activity against methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus
Solving the worldwide problem of growing bacterial drug resistance will require a short-run and medium-term strategy. Structure–activity relationship...

Comparative study reveals management of a dominant invasive plant facilitates subtropical forest regeneration
Invasive plant species can drive ecosystem change, particularly on oceanic islands that are vulnerable to plant invasions and subsequent biodiversity...
-
Bacterial communities in larger islands have reduced temporal turnover
Patterns of species diversity provide fundamental insights into the underlying mechanisms and processes that regulate biodiversity. The species–time...

Temporal trends of sediment accumulation in the Xuan Thuy Natural Wetland Reserve (Ba Lat coastal area of the Red River, Vietnam) and implications for future coastal wetland development
Coastal wetlands rely on sediment for exchange and development, and a study on the temporal trend of sedimentation can provide a tool for...

Analysis of the Relationship between the Phylogenetic Diversity of Benthic Communities and Degree of Mineralization of Plain Rivers of the Lower Volga River Basin
AbstractThe statistical background for the relationship between the taxonomic diversity of macrozoobenthos and water mineralization is presented in...
