Aim To determine the relative contribution of species replacement and species richness
differences to the emergence of beta‐diversity patterns. Innovation A novel method that …

When studying forest disturbances, it is essential to examine biodiversity from different
perspectives, which includes considering its taxonomic and functional facets. Indeed …

Background A large scale semi-quantitative biodiversity assessment was conducted in white
oak woodlands in areas included in the Spanish Network of National Parks, as part of a …

Aim The main aims were to determine:(a) the relative contribution of species replacement
and richness difference from components to overall taxonomic (TDβ) and functional (FDβ) …

Characterizing and monitoring biodiversity and assessing its drivers require accurate and
comparable data on species assemblages, which, in turn, should rely on efficient and …

In Europe, agri-environment schemes (AES) have been implemented to counteract the
effects of agricultural intensification. Studies investigating the role of management …

Aim Our aim is to test if long‐term patterns in α alpha and β beta diversity along an
elevational transect on two aspects of a mountain are consistent through time using spiders …

Understanding the impacts caused by invasive plants on higher trophic levels is
fundamental to predict future changes to native communities. Invasive plants like Acacia …

1. The composition of local assemblages is assembled by an interplay of species sorting,
mass effects and dispersal limitation processes. The contributions of assembly processes to …

Precise information on spatial patterns of species richness and endemic species distribution
is important for effective species conservation. In the Caucasus Ecoregion such information …
