DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9024
Abstract: Abstract Varied strategies to alleviate the loss of farmland biodiversity have been tested, yet there is still insufficient evidence supporting their effectiveness, especially when considering phylogenetic and functional diversity alongside traditional taxonomic diversity metrics. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9567
Abstract: Abstract The primary objective of this study was to determine the relative roles of local environmental (Local), geo‐climatic (Geo), and spatial (Spatial) factors to taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic β‐diversity of stream fish in a large… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3122
Abstract: Ecological literature offers a myriad of methods for quantifying b-diversity. One such methods is determining BDtotal (BD), which, unlike other methods, can be decomposed into meaningful components that indicate how unique a sampling unit is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-018-1698-6
Abstract: Biodiversity defines the variety of living organisms on this planet and is often quantified by the total number of species. However, species richness is insufficient in accounting for the differences in evolutionary history and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-018-1592-0
Abstract: Wood-inhabiting fungi and saproxylic beetles are threatened by habitat degradation. Our understanding of the importance of macroclimate and local factors determining their taxonomic diversity has increased, but determinants of functional and phylogenetic diversity are poorly… read more here.

Ignoring functional and phylogenetic features masks the edge influence on ground beetle diversity across forest-grassland gradient

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2016.10.056
Abstract: Abstract There is an increased species richness and species diversity at the edges of forest-grassland mosaics. Taxonomic diversity, however, provides little information on the function or evolutionary history of species, although such is critical in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpara.2021.02.003
Abstract: The loss of a particular species from a community may have different effects on its functioning, depending on the presence or absence of functionally similar or phylogenetically close species in that community (redundancy). Redundancy is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-07107-y
Abstract: Despite extensive research on ecological community compositions, general patterns across large-scale environmental gradients have remained unclear. A widely used explanatory model is the stress dominance hypothesis (SDH), predicting that the relative influence of environmental filtering… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.12845
Abstract: Summary 1.The roles that functional traits and/or evolutionary history of species from co-occuring trophic groups have in determining community recovery following disturbance are poorly understood. Functional traits help determine how species interact with their environment,… read more here.

Abstract: Biodiversity change in anthropogenically transformed habitats is often nonrandom, yet the nature and importance of the different mechanisms shaping community structure are unclear. Here, we extend the classic Theory of Island Biogeography (TIB) to account… read more here.

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.
