Ecological research conducted over the past five decades has shown that increasing tree
species richness at forest stands can improve tree resistance to insect pest damage …

The soil microbiome regulates vital ecosystem functions ranging from primary production to
soil carbon sequestration. Yet, we have only begun to understand the factors regulating the …

Biogeographical Conservativism Hypothesis were tested in forest red millipedes. Latitudinal
diversity gradient (LDG) was measured in the Spirobolida family Pachybolidae to distinguish …

Species richness is the number of different species represented in an ecological community,
landscape, or region [2-5]. Species richness and biodiversity increase from the poles to the …

Abstract The Tropical Conservativism Hypothesis and Biogeographical Conservativism
Hypothesis were tested in forest millipedes. Latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) was …

Hypothesis were tested in forest millipedes. Latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) was …

Global biodiversity is undergoing rapid declines, driven in large part by changes to land use
and climate. Global models help us to understand the consequences of environmental …

Predicting which ecological factors constrain species distributions is a fundamental
ecological question and critical to forecasting geographic responses to global change …

Early naturalists suggested that predation intensity increases toward the tropics, affecting
fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes by latitude, but empirical support is still …

Human-induced biodiversity change impairs ecosystem functions crucial to human well-
being. However, the consequences of this change for ecosystem multifunctionality are …
