Despite decades of research on biodiversity–stability relationships, most studies are performed within a trophic level, overlooking the multitrophic complexity structuring natural communities. Here, in a global analysis of diversity–synchrony–stability (DSS) studies (n=420), we found that 74% were ...
Very few coral reefs are located close enough to metropolitan cities to study the influence of large urban populations on reef communities. Here, we compare the impact of a large-scale disturbance gradient with local-scale disturbance on coral richness,
Plant material We selected the highly invasive rooted submerged aquatic plantH. verticillata(Hydrocharitaceae) as invader.Hydrilla verticillatais native to Asia and Australia, but globally invades both tropical and temperate inland aquatic ecosystems due to its wide ecological amplitude, high growth rate...
21. The diversity of microorganisms within sponges varies considerably amongst species22,23and between sponges that host high (high microbial abundance; HMA) or low (low microbial abundance; LMA) microbial abundance24,25. In general, microbial...
Thus, it is not surprising that some researchers have argued that roost availability influences the diversity of bat communities (Humphrey 1975), that destruction of roosts is res... RMR Barclay,A Kurta - 《Bats in Forests》 被引量: 378发表: 2007年 The Iwokrama Rain Forest Programme for ...
(2006) has made the case that the influence of neoliberalism and neo-conservatism has partly contributed to the lack of resources in township schools and has impeded school access and equal educational opportunities. In Australia research in urban secondary schools shows that the introduction of ...
Parental influences on Chinese literacy development: A comparison of preschoolers in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Singapore Parents of 480 Chinese preschoolers in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Singapore reported on their involvement in literacy teaching, the home literacy environment,...

The traditional beliefs that have long protected these unique, community-based reserves have decayed in concert with the influx of western influences and immigration into local communities by those holding different value systems (Ntiamoa-Baidu, 2001, Dudley et al., 2010). Consequently, many groves...
1b). The average pairwise core SNP distance within each dominant lineage was 549, 351, and 517 SNPs for lineage 1, 2, and 3, respectively, in contrast to the average pairwise core SNP distance of 1087 SNPs within the total population (Fig. 1c). This lower pairwise core SNP distance...
Within this group, C. macropterus was characterized by two distinct geo- graphical splits, despite a low mean intraspecific divergence (0.52% K2P); one of these splits contained specimens from the main stem, and the other split contained specimens from the tributaries. Moreover, the NJ tree ...
