Host specificity in phylogenetic and geographic space
The measurement of host specificity goes well beyond counting how many host species can
successfully be used by a parasite. In particular, specificity can be assessed with respect to …

Decomposing functional β‐diversity reveals that low functional β‐diversity is driven by low functional turnover in E uropean fish assemblages
Aim One of the main gaps in the assessment of biodiversity is the lack of a unified framework
for measuring its taxonomic and functional facets and for unveiling the underlying patterns …
