Species‐area relationships of lemurs in a fragmented landscape in Madagascar
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22972
Abstract: We used species‐area relationships (SARs) to investigate the effects of habitat loss on lemur biogeography. We measured species richness via visual surveys on line transects within 42 fragments of dry deciduous forest at the Ambanjabe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3917
Abstract: The species-area relationship (SAR) has over a 150-year long history in ecology, but how its shape and origins vary across scales and organisms is still not fully understood. This is the first subcontinental freshwater study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01431161.2018.1488294
Abstract: ABSTRACT C3 and C4 photosynthesis pathways represent fundamental differences in vegetation characteristics and physiology. Spectral reflectance collected on the ground and from satellite successfully described the fraction of C4 species coverage in the Konza Prairie… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jpe/rtab020
Abstract: It is important to explore the underlying mechanisms that cause triphasic species–area relationship (triphasic SAR) across different scales in order to understand the spatial patterns of biodiversity. Instead of theory establishment or field data derivation,… read more here.

Environmental filtering underpins the island species—area relationship in a subtropical anthropogenic archipelago
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13272
Abstract: Numerous mechanisms have been proposed to explain the island species–area relationship (ISAR), including the passive sampling effect, the habitat diversity effect, ecological drift and a group of mechanisms jointly termed environmental filtering (or abiotic selection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.04568
Abstract: We investigated 1) the role of area per se in explaining anuran species richness on reservoir forest islands, after controlling for several confounding factors. We also assessed 2) how sampling design affects the inferential power… read more here.

Species–area relationships and biodiversity loss in fragmented landscapes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology Letters"
DOI: 10.1111/ele.12943
Abstract: Abstract To estimate species loss from habitat destruction, ecologists typically use species–area relationships, but this approach neglects the spatial pattern of habitat fragmentation. Here, we provide new, easily applied, analytical methods that place upper and… read more here.

Species‐occupancy distribution removes an excessive parameter from species‐area relationship

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.12869
Abstract: Aim Although species-occupancy distributions (SODs) and species-area relationships (SARs) arise from the two marginal sums of the same presence/absence matrices, the two biodiversity patterns are usually explored independently. Here, we aim to unify the two… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13790
Abstract: The species–area relationship (SAR) and the small‐island effect (SIE) are of important ecological significance. However, few studies have focused on these topics in regard to bryophytes. We aimed to (1) determine whether SIEs and a… read more here.
