A new #openaccess paper investigated #ant diversity along an #urbanisation gradient and observed a noticeable species turnover but found no significant effects on richness or functional diversity.

#FuntionalDiversity #SpeciesRichness #urbanization
A new paper assessed the functional trait diversity of #edaphic #spiders and showed that, contrary to the traditional view, #caves do not harbour exclusively functionally homogeneous communities

A recently published study compares #Bayesian hierarchical models with traditional methods for estimating #speciesrichness from datasets with nested and sequential sampling designs β i.e., when presence/absence data are recorded over time and space

πππ·οΈ A newly published, #openaccess study suggests that climatic fluctuations can influence species-level #niche dynamics without altering overall community structure in large, environmentally buffered #cave systems

ππ A new study demonstrates that #biodiversity patterns in temperate #mountain regions are driven primarily by interactions between #water availability, atmospheric energy, and growing-season length rather than #productivity alone.

A new #OpenAccess paper about assembly rules and dynamics of open communities under persistent biological invasion has been published in Community Ecology

Constantly introducing species into a community pushes it to a station state, with balanced local extinction rate. Here is an estimator for the number of species packed at the stationary state.

π°π±A newly published paper shows how the number of #invasivespecies in a native #plantcommunity affects community properties, e.g., richness, diversity, invasibility and interspecific interactions.
