Diversity of ground-dwelling ants across three severely threatened South American subtropical forests: are diversity patterns influenced by spatial or climatic variables?
(Royal Entomological Society, 2021-10)
Understanding the spatial distribution of species sheds light on the biogeographical history, offers clues to the drivers of biodiversity and helps guide conservation strategies. In southern South America, Andean, Chaco ...
Diversity patterns and chronobiology of hawkmoths (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest
(Springer, 2016-08-01)
As biodiversity loss rapidly increases through habitat degradation in the Amazon rainforest, the need to characterize and understand the species diversity becomes even more important. In this study we used empirical and ...
Phytoplankton assemblage of a small, shallow, tropical African reservoir
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2009)
Introduced and native species on rocky shore macroalgal assemblages: zonation patterns, composition and diversity
(Elsevier, 2014)
The study of the natural and anthropogenic changes in patterns of species and habitat diversity is impor- tant for understanding the organization of natural species assemblages. One of the major threats to native marine ...
Intertidal Death Assemblages as Proxies of Marine Biodiversity: An Example from Northern Patagonia, Argentina
(Springer, 2019)
Marine conservation biologists have identified mollusks as one of the appropriate surrogate taxa for characterizing marine benthic diversity. In turn, live/dead comparison studies have overwhelmingly demonstrated that ...
Thresholds in the relationship between functional diversity and patch size for mammals in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-12-01)
Patch size affects abundance and diversity of mammal species, but there is little information on threshold regarding this relationship or relating it to functional diversity. Therefore, we aimed with this study to (1) ...
Benthic mollusc assemblages in West Antarctica: taxa composition and ecological insights
(Csiro Publishing, 2017-04)
Although different studies in Antarctica have dealt with benthic communities, few studies have focused on molluscan assemblages and their ecology. During the austral summer of 2011, 17 stations between depths of 68.5 and ...
Effects of regional context and landscape composition on diversity and composition of small rodent assemblages in Argentinian temperate grasslands and wetlands
(De Gruyter, 2014-08)
This study aims to describe landscape evolution in two contiguous ecoregions with different land use intensity, to assess changes in small mammal assemblages. Rodent remains in pellet samples from barn owls were used to ...
