Microbial elevational diversity patterns have been extensively studied, but their sha**
mechanisms remain to be explored. Here, we examined soil bacterial and fungal diversity …

Temporal trends in insect numbers vary across studies and habitats, but drivers are poorly
understood. Suitable long-term data are scant and biased, and interpretations of trends …

The dilution effect predicts increasing biodiversity to reduce the risk of infection, but the
generality of this effect remains unresolved. Because biodiversity loss generates predictable …

Classifying land use/land cover (LULC) with sufficient accuracy in heterogeneous
landscapes is challenging using only satellite imagery. To improve classification accuracy …

To understand how diversity is distributed in space is a fundamental aim for optimizing future
species and community conservation. We examined in parallel species richness and beta …
