DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16139
Abstract: PREMISE Plant lineages differ markedly in species richness globally, regionally, and locally. Differences in whole-genome characteristics (WGCs) such as monoploid chromosome number, genome size, and ploidy level may explain differences in global species richness through… read more here.

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/aqc.3157
Abstract: Farmland ponds promote regional aquatic biodiversity; however, optimally managing these ponds requires knowledge on how the biodiversity differs between ponds across catchments with different land uses. This study investigated the response of macrophytes, both those… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11138
Abstract: Abstract Species distribution and resource utilization are a fundamental aspect of ecology. By analyzing the tree space usage by birds and determining the species composition of birds across different parts of trees, our study could… read more here.

Shifting mammal communities and declining species richness along an elevational gradient on Mount Kenya

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11151
Abstract: Abstract Conservation areas encompassing elevation gradients are biodiversity hotspots because they contain a wide range of habitat types in a relatively small space. Studies of biodiversity patterns along elevation gradients, mostly on small mammal or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11156
Abstract: Abstract The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) hypothesis has been validated for many taxon groups, but so far, stream diatoms have not conformed to this pattern. Research on diatoms that includes data from South America is… read more here.

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/ece3.11515
Abstract: Abstract In recent years, increased species extinction and habitat loss have significantly reduced biodiversity, posing a serious threat to both nature and human survival. Environmental factors strongly influence bird distribution and diversity. The potential distribution… read more here.

An approach based on the total‐species accumulation curve and higher taxon richness to estimate realistic upper limits in regional species richness

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/ece3.3980
Abstract: Abstract The theory of island biogeography predicts that area and age explain species richness patterns (or alpha diversity) in insular habitats. Using a unique natural phenomenon, pumice rafting, we measured the influence of area, age,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Aim The final island ontogeny of the general dynamic model (GDM) (i.e., before island submergence) in tropical oceans corresponds to the coral atoll stage. Here, we examined whether the species richness of native vascular… read more here.
