Because biodiversity is multidimensional and scale‐dependent, it is challenging to estimate
its change. However, it is unclear (1) how much scale‐dependence matters for empirical …

Although the maintenance of diversity of living systems is critical for ecosystem functioning,
the accelerating pace of global change is threatening its preservation. Standardized …

Aims In ecology and conservation biology, the number of species counted in a biodiversity
study is a key metric but is usually a biased underestimate of total species richness because …

Potyviruses (family Potyviridae, genus Potyvirus) are the result of an initial radiation event
that occurred 6,600 years ago. The genus currently consists of 167 species that infect …

Biodiversity includes multiscalar and multitemporal structures and processes, with different
levels of functional organization, from genetic to ecosystemic levels. One of the mostly used …

Little consensus has emerged regarding how proximate and ultimate drivers such as
productivity, disturbance and temperature may affect species richness and other aspects of …

The field of landscape genetics has been evolving rapidly since its emergence in the early
2000s. New applications, techniques and criticisms of techniques appear like clockwork with …

DNA barcoding has greatly accelerated the pace of specimen identification to the species
level, as well as species delineation. Whereas the application of DNA barcoding to the …

This paper presents the details of the EDGG sampling methodology and its underlying
rationales. The methodology has been applied during EDGG Research Expeditions and …

Various ecological mechanisms influence the forms of species richness relationships
(SRRs). These mechanisms can be gathered under five general categories: more …
