Species richness

  1. Coastal food web changed over 125 years but kept stable trophic structure
    Historical species composition data reveal how a coastal food web changed structurally over 125 years while maintaining stable trophic organization and energy transfer efficiency.
  2. Mammal and bird ranges may shift uphill in the Altai Mountains
    Climate change threatens mammal and bird distributions in the Altai Mountains. MaxEnt modeling reveals habitat loss and range shifts toward higher elevations, with human activities and snow cover.
  3. Fire and habitat loss altered bird dietary trait structure
    Fire and habitat loss interact to reshape bird community diets in Atlantic Forest. Study reveals trait convergence under high disturbance and low forest cover, requiring integrated management.
  4. Study estimates global bee species richness at 24,705-26,164
    Study reveals global bee species richness estimates of 24,705-26,164 species, with 18-25% undescribed diversity concentrated in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, highlighting geographic taxonomic gaps.
  5. Forest degradation reduces scavenger diversity but not carrion removal
    Forest degradation alters vertebrate scavenger assemblages in neotropical dry forests, replacing specialized species with generalists like the Sechuran fox, reducing biodiversity while maintaining.
