Detecting benefits of protection level on diversity facets in a sea of temporal scarcity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.4062
Abstract: The establishment of protected areas to face global diversity declines has mainly prioritized taxonomic diversity, leaving aside phylogenetic and functional diversities, which determine ecosystem functioning and resilience. Furthermore, the assessment of protected areas' effectiveness is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70279
Abstract: Disturbances play a central role in shaping biodiversity, influencing both community structure and ecosystem function. The responses of biodiversity to disturbance are inherently multidimensional, often leading to shifts in taxonomic composition, functional traits, and evolutionary… read more here.

Phylogenetic and functional constraints of plant facilitation rewiring
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3961
Abstract: Abstract Facilitative interactions bind community species in intricate ecological networks, preserving species that would otherwise be lost. The traditional understanding of ecological networks as static components of biological communities overlooks the fact that species interactions… read more here.

Difficult decisions: Strategies for conservation prioritization when taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity are not spatially congruent
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.06.014
Abstract: Abstract Preventing further loss of biodiversity is the most important challenge for conservation biology. The loss of species and the functions and services they provide has negative implications for human well-being. However, conservation efforts focussed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117497
Abstract: Abstract Although tropical forest fires are naturally rare, they have become more frequent and intense in response to recent changes in land use and climate. This shift in fire regime may drive widespread forest degradation… read more here.

Phylogenetic and functional distinctiveness explain alien plant population responses to competition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.1070
Abstract: Several invasion hypotheses predict a positive association between phylogenetic and functional distinctiveness of aliens and their performance, leading to the idea that distinct aliens compete less with their resident communities. However, synthetic pattern relationships between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.02.21.480893
Abstract: Microbiome functional data are frequently analyzed to identify associations between microbial gene families and sample groups of interest. This is most often performed with approaches focused on the metagenome-wide relative abundance of microbial functions. Although… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.12976
Abstract: 1.Central to the success of restoration is how applied activities influence community assembly mechanisms. Phylogenetic and trait-based approaches to community ecology are increasingly being used to test for non-random community assembly, and are now being… read more here.
