PeterFedor,MartinaZvaríková, inEncyclopedia of Ecology (Second Edition), 2019 From Single Species Richness to Its Indices Species richnessrepresents a measure of the variety of species based simply on a count of the number of species in a particular sample, although it can be expressed more us...
However, we have little understanding of how environmental heterogeneity shapes the effect of diversity on ecosystem functioning and to what extent this diversity effect is mediated by variation in species richness or species turnover. This knowledge is crucial to scaling up the results of experiments...

Distribution, abundance, and species richness are the fundamental state variables in ecology. Surprisingly, though, they are simply derived quantities of a more fundamental quantity, a point pattern, that is, the outcome of a stochastic process that (in the context of distribution and abundance) pr...
The supposed relationships between species richness and both body size and life history are, however, due to phylogenetic non–independence. Together with previous work showing that differences between avian lineages in extinction risk are associated with variation in body size and life history, these ...

The order Hymenoptera (bees, ants, wasps, sawflies) contains about eight percent of all described species, but no analytical studies have addressed the origins of this richness at family-level or above. To investigate which major subtaxa experienced significant shifts in diversification, we assembled...
Plant species richness and endemism on oceanic islands is dependent on island age, size, elevation and distance to nearest source of migrants. Mainland
2), and many factors conceivably influence the establishment of monitoring programmes, regardless of country size or per capita GDP (such as the number of wild species of traditional or cultural importance, or species richness). Extensive exploration of country characteristics that influence the ...
