DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11366
Abstract: Abstract Environmental factors impact species richness differently across taxonomic groups, and understanding the geographic patterns and drivers influencing alpine plant richness remains limited. This study compiled global distribution data of 404 species of Gentiana, an… 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: 10.1038/s41598-019-55490-3
Abstract: Most knowledge on biodiversity derives from the study of charismatic macro-organisms, such as birds and trees. However, the diversity of micro-organisms constitutes the majority of all life forms on Earth. Here, we ask if the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/abda6e
Abstract: Understanding the relationships between species richness patterns and environment constitutes a key issue in biogeography and conservation strategies. To our knowledge, this is the first integrative study that incorporates soil and human-influence data into species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syaf018
Abstract: Abstract Explaining global species richness patterns is a major goal of evolution, ecology, and biogeography. These richness patterns are often attributed to spatial variation in diversification rates (speciation minus extinction). Surprisingly, prominent studies of birds,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.07062
Abstract: Mechanisms underlying large‐scale spatial patterns of species richness are one of the central issues in ecology. Although contemporary climate, evolutionary history, and historical climate change have been proposed as drivers of species richness patterns, variation… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology11060819
Abstract: Simple Summary Mountains are storehouses of global biodiversity; they host one-quarter of all terrestrial species at condensed spatial scales. Understanding the mechanisms and patterns that are associated with species richness along elevational gradients would help… read more here.
