DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3835
Abstract: Abstract The metacommunity concept provides a theoretical framework that aims at explaining organism distributions by a combination of environmental filtering, dispersal, and drift. However, few works have attempted a multitaxon approach and even fewer have… read more here.

Determinants of species richness within and across taxonomic groups in urban green spaces
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Urban Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1007/s11252-017-0642-9
Abstract: Urban green spaces provide habitat for numerous plant and animal species. However, currently we have little knowledge on which determinants drive the species richness within and across taxonomic groups. In this paper we investigate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2021.104137
Abstract: Abstract Cities are human dominated ecosystems providing novel conditions for organisms. Research on urban biodiversity is rapidly increasing, yet it is still hampered by the partial spatial coverage of cities and because of existing taxonomic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-17213-5
Abstract: Recently, Stovall et al. 1 showed that during an extreme drought, remotely sensed mortality of tall trees was more than double that of short trees. They interpreted this to be a consequence of inherently greater… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.0777
Abstract: To better understand how ecosystems are changing, a multifaceted approach to measuring biodiversity that considers species richness (SR) and evolutionary history across spatial scales is needed. Here, we compiled 162 datasets for fish, bird and… read more here.

Taxonomic patterns in the nitrogen assimilation of soil prokaryotes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Environmental Microbiology"
DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.14051
Abstract: Nitrogen (N) is frequently a limiting nutrient in soil; its availability can govern ecosystem functions such as primary production and decomposition. Assimilation of N by microorganisms impacts the availability of N in soil. Despite its… read more here.

Optimal taxonomic groups for biodiversity assessment: a meta‐analytic approach
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecography"
DOI: 10.1111/ecog.02318
Abstract: A fundamental decision in biodiversity assessment is the selection of one or more study taxa, a choice that is often made using qualitative criteria such as historical precedent, ease of detection, or available technical or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16766
Abstract: Marine phytoplankton fuel the oceanic biotic chain, determine the carbon sequestration levels, and are crucial for the global carbon cycle and climate change. In the present study, we show a near-two-decadal (2002-2022) spatiotemporal distribution of… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4173309
Abstract: Even in the vertical dimension, soil bacterial communities are spatially distributed in a distance-decay relationship (DDR). However, whether this pattern is universal among all soil microbial taxonomic groups, and how body size influences this distribution,… read more here.
