Aim A pervasive negative relationship between the species richness of an assemblage and
the mean global range size of the species it contains has recently been identified. Here, we …

Understanding how local conditions and dispersal dynamics structure communities of
passively dispersing aquatic invertebrates remains uncertain, especially in aridland …

Although groups of small habitat patches often support more species than large patches of
equal total area, their biodiversity value remains controversial. An important line of evidence …

The island species–area relationship (SAR) describes how the number of species on an
island varies with its area and provides important information about the maintenance of …

Ongoing habitat loss and fragmentation caused by human activities represent one of the
greatest causes of biodiversity loss. However, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation …

The island species–area relationship (ISAR) describes how species richness increases with
increasing area of a given island or island‐like habitat, such as freshwater lakes. While the …

Aim Species–area relationships (SAR) are widely utilized for estimating the species richness
and its spatial turnover across various scales. Despite the prevalent characterization of SAR …

Understanding patterns of species-genetic diversity correlations (SGDC) is important for
conservation purposes because it allows us to infer whether conservation of species …

The number of species shared by two or more sites is a fundamental measure of spatial
variation in species composition. As more sites are included in the comparison of species …

The passive sampling hypothesis is one of the most important hypotheses used to explain
the mechanism of species–area relationships (SAR) formation. This hypothesis has not yet …
