Beta diversity modelling has received increased interest recently. There are multiple
definitions of beta diversity, but here, we focus on variability in species composition among …

Urbanization is a global process contributing to the loss and fragmentation of natural
habitats. Many studies have focused on the biological response of terrestrial taxa and …

Abstract The 'taxonomic sufficiency'(TS) approach has been applied to algae, protists,
invertebrates, and vertebrates, generally by aggregating species-level abundance data to a …

The accumulation of scientific knowledge is far outstripped by the rate of environmental
disturbance from human activities in aquatic habitats. This highlights the need to develop …

Riparian zones ensure freshwater ecosystem processes such as microclimate regulation,
organic matter inputs, and fine substrate retention. These processes illustrate the importance …

Insects do not live in isolation. They interact with the abiotic environment and are major
components of the terrestrial and freshwater biotic milieus. They are crucial to so many …

Deforestation is a major threat globally, but especially in tropical regions because they are
biodiversity strongholds and carbon storehouses. Some studies have reported changes in …

Cost-effective, ecologically relevant, sensitive, and standardized indicators are requisites of
biomonitoring. DNA metabarcoding of macroinvertebrate communities is a potentially …

Conventional morphology-based identification is commonly used for routine assessment of
freshwater ecosystems. However, cost and time efficient techniques such as high-throughput …

Urbanization is one of the major drivers of biotic homogenization (ie, decrease in beta
diversity) in freshwater systems. However, only a few studies have simultaneously examined …
