Recent studies suggest that these two processes simultaneously limit species richness, although their relative importance may vary in space and time. Understanding the limiting factors for species richness is especially important in light of the ongoing global warming, as new species establish in ...

As climate change alters plant species distribution, a growing body of evidence suggests that both climatic and non-climatic factors (including the interactions between plants and soil microbes) play pivotal roles in shaping plant range expansion64,65. Our study reveals that a complex interplay of a...
Population drift, selection, admixture, inbreeding, and taming are some of the factors that influence LD. The rate of recombination, transversion, translocation, and chromosomal duplications all play a significant role in the LD variation at various genetic locations. Numerous plant taxa have been ...
Additionally, the BAFs show that pike also took up mercury to a large extent through the gills, while the skin was of marginal importance. In breams, bioaccumulation factors indicate Hg uptake mainly through the digestive system and to a much lesser extent through the skin and gills. In roach...
The environmental stability of an ecosystem impacts the population of species that call it home. Unexpected changes may indirectly change the food web as changing conditions make it more or less hospitable and influence whether a particular species will establish itself. While many abiotic factors occu...
Relationships among P-IBI, its component metrics, and environmental factors were analyzed across different seasons. Results Results obtained from the P-IBI indicated that the phytoplankton-based ecological health of the Yangtze River was rated as “good” during both seasons, with an overall better ...
from one ecosystem to another. they mainly take up the role of life supporter. they determine and restrict the population growth, number, and diversity of biotic factors in an ecosystem. hence, they are called limiting factors. a terrestrial ecosystem consists of abiotic factors like climate, typ...
Contrary to our hypothesis, we only observed subtle changes in microbial composition and function. While this lack in microbial changes could partly be attributed to other study factors, such as sample size or short duration of the study (which might not have allowed enough time for new taxa to...
that represent biotic stress[1]. Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) represents a universal mechanism in cellular responses to environmental stress (abiotic and biotic). Various anthropogenic activities have accentuated the existing stress factors. All of these stress factors are threat to ...
