A regional species pool comprises all species available to colonize a focal site. The roots of
the concept are imbedded in island biogeography theory, supply-side ecology, and early …

Correlations between the amount of energy received by an assemblage and the number of
species that it contains are very general, and at the macro-scale such species–energy …

It is critical for our knowledge of biodiversity and ecosystem processes to understand how
individual species contribute to ecosystem processes and how these contributions vary in …

Summary 1 We investigated the effects of changes in taxonomic resolution on analyses of
patterns of multivariate variation at different spatial scales for the highly diverse fauna …

Worldwide, natural habitats are being replaced by artificial structures due to urbanisation.
Planning of such modifications should strive for environmental net gain that benefits …

Aim To test for a possible effect of environmental harshness on large‐scale latitudinal and
elevational patterns in taxon richness of macrofauna in arctic and alpine glacier‐fed …

Environmental temperature has profound effects on the biological performance and
biogeographical distribution of ectothermic species. Variation of this abiotic factor across …

Aim We evaluated whether patterns of species diversity (α, β and γ) of rocky shore
assemblages followed latitudinal gradients (ie LDGs) along the South American coasts, and …

Using species distribution data from 111 aquifers distributed in nine European regions, we
examined the pairwise relationships between local species richness (LSR), dissimilarity in …

The biogeography of the Peruvian Eastern Pacific coast has been described based on
oceanographic parameters and qualitative species occurrence data. This has generated …
