The use of functional diversity analyses in ecology has grown exponentially over the past
two decades, broadening our understanding of biological diversity and its change across …

Aim Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (ie, β‐
diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine β‐diversity …

Habitat loss and fragmentation reduce biodiversity and alter species composition in local
communities. β diversity describes the variation in species composition between or among …

Rotifers are one of the most important functional groups in lentic freshwaters, and mainly
structured by predation or competition from crustaceans and food availability from …

Classifications of forest vegetation types and characterization of related species
assemblages are important analytical tools for map** and diversity monitoring of forest …

Functional redundancy is an essential component of ecological insurance and indicates the
properties of community assembly, maintenance of ecosystem functions, and stability under …

Aim How β‐diversity patterns are shaped by landscape‐level processes remains unclear
across habitat island systems. Here we assessed landscape‐level bird β‐diversity in habitat …

Introduction Exploring the change and maintaining mechanism of plant diversity is of great
significance for guiding the restoration of degraded ecosystems. However, how plant …

Human-induced biodiversity loss negatively affects ecosystem function, but the interactive
effects of biodiversity change across trophic levels remain insufficiently understood. We …

Aim Ecological communities are assembled by regional and local processes. These
processes select species through their traits, which are tied to species' evolutionary history …
