There is an increasing consensus that Hill diversity is the preferred way to measure not only the species diversity of a community, which is the subject of this paper, but also differentiation among communities (Jost 2007, Ellison 2010, Chao and Chiu 2016, Botta-Dukát 2018, Chao et al. 2019b, Ohlmann et al. 2019) functional and phylogenetic ...

Using the Shannon index for the calculation of geodiversity and species diversity could thus facilitate the direct comparisons of geodiversity and species diversity. But research on geodiversity ...
Species Diversity
Various styles of paper are sought, ranging from voluminous revisions and review articles to single species descriptions, other short research reports, and essays concerning zoological nomenclature. Species Diversity is published by the Japanese Society of Systematic Zoology (JSSZ).
Frontiers
The significance of biodiversity research is to understand the structure and function of the community, and then to protect and monitor the community. The metric of biodiversity is the base of biodiversity conservation. Species richness and evenness are the most common descriptors of biodiversity. Whether it is diversity information measure, probability measure or geometric measure, they all ...

ecosystem [12,13]. Species diversity was the most commonly used indicator of biodiversity in early research on the interrelationship between biodiversity and productivity [14-16]. Species diversity is an indispensable evaluator of ecosystem structure [2]. If species changes
The importance of species diversity for human well-being in Europe
Species diversity is measured as the species richness of birds, mammals (including megafauna) and trees. In addition, we compiled indicators for other nature and climate characteristics such as landscape and topographic heterogeneity, the area of green and blue space, or protected area cover. 2. Empirical approach.
Biodiversity and the importance of insect diversity
Insect diversity is the evolutionary basis that enables species adaptation and survival, but also the essential pillar of ecosystem services and homeostasis. In this chapter, we discuss four types of diversity (genetic, behavioral, species, and ecosystem) and justify their relevance to insect conservation. We focus on behavioral variability ...
Scientific research on animal biodiversity is systematically ...
In total 526 research papers were screened—5% of all papers in Web of Science with biodiversity in the title. For each paper, details on taxonomic group, title phrasing, number of citations, study location, and author locations were recorded. ... The most commonly used meaning is diversity at the species level, although despite being an ...

Abstract. Species diversity and biodiversity are widely used terms in ecology and natural resource management. Despite this, they are not easily. defined and different authors apply these terms ...
Diversity begets diversity in mammal species and human cultures
Across the planet the biogeographic distribution of human cultural diversity tends to correlate positively with biodiversity. In this paper we focus on the biogeographic distribution of mammal ...
(PDF) Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity
In this paper, we show that ecological effects of habitat heterogeneity may vary considerably between species groups depending on whether structural attributes are perceived as heterogeneity or ...
(PDF) Insect biodiversity and their conservation for sustainable
In light of the Convention on Biological Diversity, this paper summarises the known insect species numbers for Ireland and questions whether this is a true reflection of our insect diversity. The ...
Diversity
Insects comprise more than half of all described species in the animal kingdom and account for a considerable proportion of all biodiversity on the planet [ 1, 2 ]. This great variability is due to the specificity of the genetic, morphological, and functional aspects that different insect species have developed to successfully cope with the ...

The relationship between species and functional diversity remains poorly understood for nearly all ecosystem types, yet determining this relationship is critically important for developing both a mechanistic understanding of community assembly and appropriate expectations and approaches to protecting and restoring biological communities.

Species Diversity. From Queen Victoria to Queen Bey, scientists have always drawn inspiration for naming new species from an eclectic array of influences. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, many species names were based on ancient intellectual figures and contemporary political leaders. However, as both the number of species and the ...

The flora of limestone karsts is exceptionally rich, due in particular to the wide array of microhabitats that limestone outcrops support. However, in Peninsular Malaysia limestone outcrops are heavily exploited for the quarry industry, cave temples, leisure venues and the development of geoparks, hence the limestone flora is amongst the most threatened biodiversity in the Peninsula. The 95 ...
