Abstract Model‐based approaches are increasingly popular in ecological studies. A good
example of this trend is the use of joint species distribution models to ask questions about …

Ecological differences between coexisting species within plant communities can be
assessed by considering functional and phylogenetic dissimilarities either separately or in a …

Refugia play an important role in contributing to the conservation of species and
communities by buffering environmental conditions over time. As large natural landscapes …

Ecosystems with forest and grassland patches as alternative stable states usually contain
various closed, semi‐open and open habitats, which may be aligned along a vegetation …

Amazonia has a very high, although still incompletely known, species diversity distributed
over a mosaic of heterogeneous habitats that are also poorly characterized. As a result of …

Although many studies have shown that species richness decreases from low to high
latitudes (the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient), little is known about the relationship between …

A multi-faceted approach is needed to better understand how the beta diversity of aquatic
assemblages responds to ecological gradients. Using distance-based RDA and variance …

Forest genetic conservation is typically species-specific and does not integrate interspecific
interaction and community structure. It mainly focuses on the theories of population and …

This study assessed the impact of altitude, precipitation, and soil conditions on species
richness (SR), phylogenetic diversity (PD), and functional diversity (FD) standardized effect …

Abstract Context Island Biogeography Theory and Habitat Amount Hypothesis postulate
