Species richness and beta diversity patterns of multiple taxa along an elevational gradient in pastured grasslands in the European Alps
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 …

Vertical diversity and association pattern of total, abundant and rare microbial communities in deep‐sea sediments
Microbial abundance and community composition in marine sediments have been widely
explored. However, high‐resolution vertical changes of benthic microbial diversity and co …

Selective extinction drives taxonomic and functional alpha and beta diversities in island bird assemblages
Taxonomic diversity considers all species being equally different from each other and thus
disregards species' different ecological functions. Exploring taxonomic and functional …

Early evidence of shifts in alpine summit vegetation: a case study from Kashmir Himalaya
Under the contemporary climate change, the Himalaya is reported to be warming at a much
higher rate than the global average. However, little is known about the alpine vegetation …
