“What Matters Is Species Richness”—High School Students’ Understanding of the Components of Biodiversity
(Springer, 2018-09)
The definition of biodiversity stated by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1992 was conceived as occurring on three different organizational levels: genetic, species, and ecosystems. However, current understanding ...
Improving the knowledge of plant potential biodiversity-ecosystem services links using maps at the regional level in Southern Patagonia.
(Springer, 2021-07-22)
Background: Biodiversity supports multiple ecosystem services, whereas species loss endangers the provision of many services and affects ecosystem resilience and resistance capacity. The increase of remote sensing techniques ...
BiGe-Onto: An ontology-based system for managing biodiversity and biogeography data
(IOS Press, 2020-10-27)
Great progress to digitize the world's available Biodiversity and Biogeography data have been made recently, but managing data from many different providers and research domains still remains a challenge. A review of the ...
Nonequilibrium evolution of volatility in origination and extinction explains fat-tailed fluctuations in Phanerozoic biodiversity
(Science Advances is the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019-06)
Fluctuations in biodiversity, large and small, pervade the fossil record, yet we do not understand the processes generating them. Here, we extend theory from nonequilibrium statistical physics to describe the fat-tailed ...
Spatial analysis of benthic functional biodiversity in san jorge gulf, Argentina
(Oceanography Society, 2019-12)
Anthropogenic pressures on coastal and marine ecosystems are increasing. Current development of spatiotemporal models will improve understanding of how changes to biodiversity distribution resulting from such pressures ...
Pollination in socio-agroecosystems: Recommendations to preserve the diversity of pollinators
(The Society of Plan Reproductive Biologists, 2020-01)
Pollinators play a crucial role in human well-being, as they contribute to pollination of many crops and influence plant reproduction and biodiversity conservation of native plants. There is a gradual disappearance of major ...
Positive biodiversity-productivity relationship predominant in global forests
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016-10-14)
The biodiversity-productivity relationship (BPR) is foundational to our understanding of the global extinction crisis and its impacts on ecosystem functioning. Understanding BPR is critical for the accurate valuation and ...
Can rural tourism stimulate biodiversity conservation and influence farmer's management decisions?
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-12)
The Pampean agroecosystems are oriented to providing a few Ecosystem Services (ES) with undesired consequences on the environment, particularly the loss of biodiversity and cultural ES. In this context, it is necessary to ...
Engineering by an invasive species alters landscape-level ecosystem function, but does not affect biodiversity in freshwater systems
(Wiley, 2014-02)
Aim: Ecological theory predicts that invasive ecosystem engineers like the American beaver (Castor canadensis) in Tierra del Fuego (TDF) affect landscape-level biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) when engineered ...
Persistence and reservoirs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae biodiversity in different vineyard niches
(Elsevier, 2019-09)
Highlights: S. cerevisiae vineyard populations dynamically changed during grape growth cycle. Strains from ripe grapes showed highest diversity and distribution across vineyard. Buds in winter and bark from sprouting to ...
