DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3570
Abstract: Abstract Most of accumulation curves tend to underestimate species richness, as they do not consider spatial heterogeneity in species distribution, or are structured to provide lower bound estimates and limited extrapolations. The total‐species (T–S) curve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9607
Abstract: Abstract A major goal of ecology and evolutionary biology is to explain geographic patterns of species richness. Richness is often correlated with climatic variables. However, the processes underlying these climate‐diversity relationships remain poorly understood. Two… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2173
Abstract: The amount and arrangement of habitat is a fundamental determinant of biodiversity and ecosystem processes in a landscape. Biodiversity is expected to decline following habitat loss and isolation, potentially impeding ecosystem function. But because greater… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2548
Abstract: Along elevational gradients, species richness often peaks at intermediate elevations and not the base. Here we refine and test eight hypotheses to evaluate causes of a richness peak in trees of the eastern Himalaya. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2831
Abstract: We developed a framework for the hierarchical pathways of bottom-up (niche dimensionality) and top-down control (herbivory) on biomass of stream algae via changes in guild composition (relative abundance of low profile, high profile, and motile… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00248-020-01594-7
Abstract: Advancements in molecular technology have reduced the constraints that the grain of observation, or the spatial resolution and volume of the sampling unit, has on the characterization of plant-associated microbiomes. With discrete ecological sampling and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-021-02150-6
Abstract: Mapping diversity patterns is important to clarify its causes and is essential information for conservation policies. We map the distribution of vascular epiphytes from the Southern block of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (SBAF) to understand… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-021-02233-4
Abstract: Flower plantings can increase the abundance of bees and improve pollination services in the surrounding landscape. However, uncertainty remains as to whether flower plantings play a role in wild bee conservation. The aim of this… read more here.
