Aim: To assess the distributional patterns of fruit-feeding butterfly species richness in Atlantic Forest (AF) based on stack species distribution models (SSDM); to evaluate the relative contribution of climate and landscape ...

Many studies have shown that the processes of colonization of new marine substrata, from settlement to recruitment, can leave long and lasting signals on the richness, composition and general structure of natural epifaunal ...

The analysis of species richness and community composition provides basic information to understand the structure of species assemblages. Here, we compared species richness and composition, compositional similarity and ...

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 ...

The knowledge of the distributional patterns of saproxylic beetles is essential for conservation biology due to the relevance of this fauna in the maintenance of ecological processes and the endangerment of species. The ...

An important component of species diversity which has recently received significant attention is the change in species composition across space, or beta diversity. Temporal turnover of species is an equally important ...

It has been suggested for some taxa from the northern hemisphere, that body size and geographic range width, decrease from the poles to the Ecuador, where species richness increases. In this paper, the existence of latitudinal ...
