Geologic history explains freshwater fish species richness across the conterminous USA.

Polyploidization contributes to the forms, heights, and species richness of plants.

Artificial light at night alters the relative dominance of invasive plants in a nutrient-dependent manner across native species richness levels.

Post-Fire Abundance Trajectories of Bird Species and Functional Groups Within an Atlantic–Mediterranean Ecotone

The Atlantic–Mediterranean ecotone of northwestern Iberia is one of the most fire-prone regions in Europe, yet post-fire avian dynamics there remain poorly documented. To characterise short- to mid-term post-fire avian trajectories in this ...

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic insights into the selected endemic flora of the Western Himalayas

Abstract The Himalayan region is recognized as one of the world’s major biodiversity hotspots due to its remarkable altitudinal variation, high species richness, and exceptional endemism. Despite its ecological significance, the endemic flo...

Temperature dependence of liverwort diversification reveals a cool origin and hot hotspots

Abstract The evolutionary history underlying gradients in species richness is still subject to discussions and understanding the past niche evolution might be crucial in estimating the potential of taxa to adapt to changing environmental co...

Floristic diversity and structural parameters on the forest tree population in the Luki biosphere reserve, Democratic Republic of Congo

Tropical rainforests play an important role in the global Eco-climatic balance and its sustainable management is a major concern that has attracted the attention of researchers. The Luki biosphere reserve, while under a status of protected ...

Composition and distribution of bacterial communities and potential radiation-resistant bacteria at different elevations in the eastern Pamirs

Altitude and ultraviolet (UV) radiation may affect the community composition and distribution of microorganisms in soil ecosystems. In this study, 49 soil samples from 10 locations were collected from different elevations on the eastern Pam...

Breeding birds in the largest historical urban park of Rome (Villa Doria Pamphilj): community structure and spatial patterns of species richness and occurrence

This study presents preliminary data obtained through intensive sampling using a spatial survey approach (breeding bird atlas) carried out in Rome’s largest historic urban park: Villa Doria Pamphilj (184 hectares). A total of 44 breeding bi...

Temperature orchestrates phytoplankton community and environment in mountain stream for enhancing resource use efficiency

Warming is a key factor influencing the function of the structure and function of phytoplankton communities. However, the impacts of temperature on phytoplankton resource use efficiency (RUE) in mountain rivers remain poorly understood. Her...
