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 …

The evolutionary dissimilarity between communities (phylogenetic beta diversity PBD) has
been increasingly explored by ecologists and biogeographers to assess the relative roles of …

Aim We studied global variation in beta diversity patterns of lake macrophytes using regional
data from across the world. Specifically, we examined (1) how beta diversity of aquatic …

Remotely sensed data can help to identify both suitable habitat for individual species, and
environmental conditions that foster species richness, which is important when predicting …

Aim We hypothesized that mechanisms underlying beta diversity in rivers would differ
between gradients where (1) natural stressors result in progressive species turnover with …

To define whether the beta diversity of stream invertebrate communities in N ew Z ealand
exhibits geographical variation unexplained by variation in gamma diversity and, if so, what …

Incidence, or compositional, matrices are generated for a broad range of research
applications in biology. Zeta diversity provides a common currency and conceptual …

Understanding past and current patterns of species richness is essential for predicting how
these patterns may be affected by future global change. The species energy hypothesis …

Studying the diversity and distribution of host-associated fungi along the temperature
gradient can help us detect the potential impact of global warming on host-microbe …

Aim While ecologists have long been interested in diversity in mountain regions, elevational
patterns in beta diversity are still rarely studied across different life forms ranging from micro …
