The reliable mapping of species richness is a crucial step for the identification of areas of
high conservation priority, alongside other value and threat considerations. This is …

This review synthesizes recent developments in the field of tardigrade biogeography, tracing
back to the origins of Baas Becking's hypothesis that 'everything is everywhere but the …

Landscape patterns are important drivers of biodiversity. Owing to differences in vegetation
types, sampling methods, diversity measures, spatial scales, and landscape levels, the …

Aims Understanding fine‐grain diversity patterns across large spatial extents is fundamental
for macroecological research and biodiversity conservation. Using the GrassPlot database …

Grasslands are spontaneously occurring herbaceous vegetation types that are mostly
dominated by grasses or other graminoids and have usually> 10% herb-layer cover, while …

Biodiversity monitoring is crucial for ecosystem conservation, but ground data collection is
limited by cost, time, and scale. Remote sensing is a convenient approach providing …

Whether current hypotheses for geographic patterns of species richness (SR) have a strong
explanatory power for the Tibetan Plateau (TP) with extreme climatic conditions remains …

Questions European woodlands harbor at least 386 alien plant species but the factors
driving local invasions remain unknown. By using a large vegetation‐plot database, we …

Variables describing the abiotic environment (eg climate, topography or biogeographic
history) have a long tradition of use as predictors of tree species richness patterns. However …

European grasslands are among the most species-rich ecosystems on small spatial scales.
However, human-induced activities like land use and climate change pose significant …
