DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2636
Abstract: The forests of western Amazonia are among the most diverse tree communities on Earth, yet this exceptional diversity is distributed highly unevenly within and among communities. In particular, a small number of dominant species account… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2977
Abstract: A central question of community ecology is to understand how the interplay between processes of the Neutral Theory (e.g., immigration and ecological drift) and niche-based processes (e.g., environmental filtering, intra- and interspecific density-dependence) shape species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11284-018-1629-6
Abstract: Coastal sand dunes represent one of the most fragile ecosystems in the Mediterranean basin. These habitats naturally suffer the action of several limiting factors such as sand burial, marine aerosol and low soil fertility; on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12526-020-01060-0
Abstract: Latitudinal diversity patterns in marine species are commonly estimated from literature records, which at times are incomplete and/or biased. Advances in molecular phylogenetics have contributed to avoid this bias, clarifying the identity of the species,… read more here.
