Abstract: Abstract Easily recognizable species are often used as so-called ‘flagship’ species to raise awareness and funding for conservation action, but this practice has been criticized for neglecting low-profile species. One component of biodiversity is the… read more here.

Abstract: 1. The forests of Amazonia are among the most biodiverse on Earth, yet accurately quantifying how species composition varies through space (i.e., beta‐diversity) remains a significant challenge. Here, we use high‐fidelity airborne imaging spectroscopy from… read more here.

Abstract: While water and sediment microbial communities exhibit pronounced spatio-temporal patterns in freshwater lakes, the underlying drivers are yet poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the importance of spatial and temporal variation in abiotic environmental factors for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/geb.13266
Abstract: Aim Ecological communities that exist closer together in space are generally more compositionally similar than those far apart, as defined by the distance?decay of similarity relationship. However, recent research has revealed substantial variability in the… read more here.
