DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4841
Abstract: Abstract Environmental filtering and spatial structuring are important ecological processes for the generation and maintenance of biodiversity. However, the relative importance of these ecological drivers for multiple facets of diversity is still poorly understood in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02367-6
Abstract: Despite good recognition of distributions and spread mechanisms of the three most invasive trees in Europe ( Prunus serotina , Quercus rubra and Robinia pseudoacacia ), their impacts on forest biodiversity are unevenly recognized. Most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1028415x.2023.2213484
Abstract: OBJECTIVES To investigate the gut-brain axis, we explored the relationships among mood disturbance (MD), diet quality (DQ), and fecal microbiota in free-living adults. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with data from 75 healthy adults… read more here.

Untangling the assembly of littoral macroinvertebrate communities through measures of functional and phylogenetic alpha diversity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Freshwater Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/fwb.12934
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that species, functional and phylogenetic diversity are related to different environmental drivers, suggesting that different aspects of alpha diversity may be complementary and may provide different information about community assembly. Such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13624
Abstract: Aim: The former continental–scale studies modelled coarse–grained plant species–richness patterns (gamma diversity). Here we aim to refine this information for European forests by (a) modelling the number of vascular plant species that co–occur in local… read more here.

DOI: 10.11158/saa.25.11.9
Abstract: Abstract Complicated ecological interactions among numerous species could drive ecosystems towards more stability. Scarabaeoid beetles render a profound contribution to ecological processes through establishing symbiotic relationships with a variety of fungivorous mites. Such interactions with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00261-19
Abstract: Gut microbial diversity changes throughout the human life span and is known to be associated with host sex. We investigated the association of age, sex, and gut bacterial alpha diversity in three large cohorts of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.am2017-234
Abstract: Background: Colorectal cancer arises from adenomatous and serrated colon polyps that are identifiable with colonoscopy. Generally, a healthy gut is characterized by higher fecal microbiota. We conducted a study to determine whether fecal microbiota composition… read more here.
