Partitioning multiple facets of beta diversity in a tropical stream macroalgal metacommunity
(2020-08-01)
Aim: We evaluated different facets of beta diversity (taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional), and its components (spatial turnover and nestedness), of a stream macroalgal metacommunity, as well as the effect of local ...
Ecological uniqueness of fish communities from streams in modified landscapes of Eastern Amazonia
(2020-04-01)
Ecological uniqueness is one aspect of beta (β) diversity that shows the relative contribution of sites (local contribution to beta diversity – LCBD) and taxa (species contribution to beta diversity – SCBD) in the formation ...
Expected impacts of climate change threaten the anuran diversity in the Brazilian hotspots
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-08-01)
We performed Ecological Niche Models (ENMs) to generate climatically suitable areas for anurans in the Brazilian hotspots, the Atlantic Forest (AF), and Cerrado (CER), considering the baseline and future climate change ...
Partitioning and drivers of aquatic insect beta diversity in mountain streams
(2021-01-01)
In recent years, interest in considering multiple facets of diversity has grown among community ecologists. Biological communities are complex systems, and exploring multiple facets can help reveal the main processes that ...
Components of woody plant diversity in semi-arid Chaco forests with heterogeneous land use and disturbance histories
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-10)
We assessed components of woody plant diversity within and between 16 sites dispersed across the nearly 200,000 ha of the Semi-arid Chaco vegetation of the Copo Conservation Unit, northern Argentina. Argentina's Semi-arid ...
Integrating Taxonomic, Functional and Phylogenetic Beta Diversities: Interactive Effects with the Biome and Land Use across Taxa
(Public Library of Science, 2015-05)
The spatial distribution of species, functional traits and phylogenetic relationships at both the regional and local scales provide complementary approaches to study patterns of biodiversity and help to untangle the ...
Bird diversity along a gradient of fragmented habitats of the Cerrado
(Acad Brasileira De Ciencias, 2018-03-01)
Understanding the factors that affect biodiversity is of central interest to ecology, and essential to species conservation and ecosystems management. We sampled bird communities in 17 forest fragments in the Cerrado biome, ...
Beta diversity of stream insects differs between boreal and subtropical regions, but land use does not generally cause biotic homogenization
(2021-03-01)
Previous studies have found mixed results regarding the relationship between beta diversity and latitude. In addition, by influencing local environmental heterogeneity, land use maymodify spatial taxonomic and functional ...
Stochastic species loss and dispersal limitation drive patterns of spatial and temporal beta diversity of fish assemblages in tropical agroecosystem streams
(2020-01-01)
Beta diversity quantifies changes in assemblages among sites and can identify how anthropogenic changes affect species distributions patterns. We investigated how spatial and temporal beta diversity of fish assemblages ...
Fine-scale Beta-diversity Patterns Across Multiple Arthropod Taxa Over a Neotropical Latitudinal Gradient
(2015-09-01)
Documenting how diversity patterns vary at fine- and broad scales may help answer many questions in theoretical and applied ecology. However, studies tend to compare diversity patterns at the same scale and within the same ...
