DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8525
Abstract: Abstract Density dependence and habitat heterogeneity have been recognized as important driving mechanisms that shape the patterns of seedling survival and promote species coexistence in species‐rich forests. In this study, we evaluated the relative importance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9727
Abstract: Abstract Haloxylon ammodendron and Haloxylon persicum (as sister taxa) are dominant shrubs in the Gurbantunggut Desert. The former grows in inter‐dune lowlands while the latter in sand dunes. However, little information is available regarding the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2909
Abstract: Habitat heterogeneity affects both biotic and abiotic factors important in determining arthropod community composition. In a sandy, mixed-grass prairie in the southern Great Plains, we used clipping and NPK fertilization to manipulate plant biomass, habitat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11252-018-0790-6
Abstract: Implementation of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) as part of cities’ transition towards climate resilience encompasses unique opportunities to enhance urban nature qualities. SUDS include individual elements integrated in the urban landscape, e.g. rain gardens… read more here.

Mammal functional diversity and habitat heterogeneity: Implications for hominin habitat reconstruction.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhevol.2020.102853
Abstract: Hominin habitats are frequently described as 'mosaic' based on interpretations of fossil assemblages comprising taxa with divergent functional adaptations (e.g., both grazers and browsers). This interpretation rests on an assumption that mammal functional diversity is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2017.05.022
Abstract: Spatial heterogeneity is an inherent property of any living environment and is expected to favour biodiversity due to a broader niche space. Furthermore, edges between different habitats can provide additional possibilities for species coexistence. Using… read more here.

Abstract: Discrepancies were found between Ecological Status of sediments evaluated though the analysis of macrobenthic community and chemical analyses along a heavily trafficked and contaminated maritime seaway in Tyrrhenian Sea. Chemical analyses showed some sites highly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-28194-y
Abstract: Habitat heterogeneity is considered a primary causal driver underpinning patterns of diversity, yet the universal role of heterogeneity in structuring biodiversity is unclear due to a lack of coordinated experiments testing its effects across geographic… read more here.

Complexity–biodiversity relationships on marine urban structures: reintroducing habitat heterogeneity through eco-engineering
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0393
Abstract: Urbanization is leading to biodiversity loss through habitat homogenization. The smooth, featureless surfaces of many marine urban structures support ecological communities, often of lower biodiversity, distinct from the complex natural habitats they replace. Eco-engineering (design… read more here.

Habitat heterogeneity induces rapid changes in the feeding behaviour of generalist arthropod predators

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.13028
Abstract: Abstract The “habitat heterogeneity hypothesis” predicts positive effects of structural complexity on species coexistence. Increasing habitat heterogeneity can change the diversity (number of species, abundances) and the functional roles of communities. The latter, however, is… read more here.
