Species richness in natural and disturbed habitats: Asteraceae and Flower-head insects (Tephritidae: Diptera)
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2010)
Relationship between the invasion of Acacia dealbata Link (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) and plant species richness in south-central Chile Relación entre la invasión de Acacia dealbata Link (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) y la riqueza de especies vegetales en el centro-
(Universidad de Concepcion, 2010)
Tree invasions can lead to changes in the plant community composition and reductions in the number of native species. Acacia dealbata Link (silver wattle) was introduced to Chile as an ornamental. This species originated ...
Species turnover drives β-diversity patterns across multiple spatial scales of plant-galling interactions in mountaintop grasslands
(2018-05-01)
This study describes differences in species richness and composition of the assemblages of galling insects and their host plants at different spatial scales. Sampling was conducted along altitudinal gradients composed of ...
Diverse urban plantings managed with sufficient resource availability can increase plant productivity and arthropod diversity
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-10-30)
Buildings structures and surfaces are explicitly being used to grow plants, and these "urban plantings" are generally designed for aesthetic value. Urban plantings also have the potential to contribute significant "ecological ...
Relationship between climate and geographical variation of local woody species richness within the Mediterranean-type region of Chile
(2016)
Abstract
Background
Latitudinal and altitudinal patterns of plant species richness have frequently been related to different climate variables such as precipitation, ...
Impacts of ecosystem engineers on community attributes: effects of cushion plants at different elevations of the Chilean Andes
(BLACKWELL, 2006-07)
Ecosystem engineers are organisms able to modulate environmental forces and, hence, may change the habitat conditions for other species. In so doing, ecosystem engineers may affect both species richness and evenness of ...
How does spatial micro-environmental heterogeneity influence seedling recruitment in ironstone outcrops?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021-03-01)
Questions Environmental filters limit the set of potentially coexisting species in plant communities. Paradoxically, some of the world's most biodiverse communities are subjected to strong abiotic filters. We explored how ...
Shrub facilitation increases plant diversity along an arid scrubland-temperate rain forest boundary in South America
(2012)
Theoretical models predict nurse plant facilitation enhances species richness by ameliorating stressful environmental conditions and expanding
distributional ranges of stress-intolerant species into harsh environments. ...
Bromeliad architectural complexity and vertical distribution predict spider abundance and richness
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-06-01)
Habitat complexity is a main predictor of the distribution of arthropods on vegetation. However, it remains poorly known whether plant architecture and fine-scale spatial distribution affect the species richness and ...
