Taxonomic and functional macroinvertebrate diversity of high‐altitude ponds in the Macun Cirque, Switzerland
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.3691
Abstract: Global environmental change is threatening freshwater biodiversity with ecological impacts predicted to be particularly severe in high-altitude regions. Despite this, an ecological understanding of high-altitude pond networks remains patchy, with only limited knowledge of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5021
Abstract: Abstract Cacao agroforestry have been considered as biodiversity‐friendly farming practices by maintaining habitats for a high diversity of species in tropical landscapes. However, little information is available to evaluate whether this agrosystem can maintain functional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6474
Abstract: Abstract Biodiversity is a major driver of numerous ecosystem functions. However, consequences of changes in forest biodiversity remain difficult to predict because of limited knowledge about how tree diversity influences ecosystem functions. Litter decomposition is… read more here.

Convergent evolution of specialized generalists: Implications for phylogenetic and functional diversity of carabid feeding groups
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6746
Abstract: Abstract Closely related species are often assumed to be functionally similar. Phylogenetic information is thus widely used to infer functional diversity and assembly of communities. In contrast, evolutionary processes generating functional similarity of phylogenetically distinct… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8381
Abstract: Abstract While there has been increasing interest in how taxonomic diversity is changing over time, less is known about how long‐term taxonomic changes may affect ecosystem functioning and resilience. Exploring long‐term patterns of functional diversity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8552
Abstract: Abstract Although the diversity–disturbance relationship has been extensively studied, the differences in responses of taxonomic vs. functional diversity to natural disturbances (i.e., fire) call for an improved understanding of this relationship. Here, we investigated how… read more here.

Climate change linked to functional homogenization of a subtropical estuarine system
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8783
Abstract: Abstract Climate change causes marine species to shift and expand their distributions, often leading to changes in species diversity. While increased biodiversity is often assumed to confer positive benefits on ecosystem functioning, many examples have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9254
Abstract: Abstract The relationships among species diversity, functional diversity, functional redundancy, and community stability are central to community and ecosystem ecology. In this paper, a “space substitution for time” approach is used to study the plant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9435
Abstract: Abstract In agroecosystems, species‐rich habitats, such as linear field margins and flower strips, are beneficial to the overall biodiversity and contribute to pest control. Their effects are thought to be mediated by plant species composition… read more here.
