Although several studies have identified the effects of functional trait diversity (FTD) and/or identity, i.e. the community-weighted mean (CWM) of a ......
Squamate reptiles exhibit two reproductive modes: oviparity and viviparity. Existing large-scale studies suggest that viviparous species are more vuln......
The rapid loss of biodiversity poses a great threat to ecosystem functions and services. Credible estimation of species extinction rates is essential ......

The spatiotemporal variability of vegetation fires is essential for understanding changes in the climate and ecosystem in mountainous regions. MODIS C......
The large-scale conversion of natural mangroves to aquaculture reduces species richness and diversity. Large areas of abandoned aquaculture ponds in a......
Species and their interactions are more dynamic over time and space in fragmented habitats than in continuous habitats. In fragmented habitats, the lo......
The increase in species number from poles to the equator is one of the most fundamental patterns in ecology. Although several hypotheses have been pro......
Montane small mammals are subjected to strong forces of dispersal limitation and habitat filtering that mainly operate on their community structures a......
The small-island effect (SIE) is an important pattern in the research fields of island biogeography and biodiversity science. Amphibians and reptiles,......
How communities assemble is a central and fundamental question in ecology. However, it has been mired by conflicting conclusions about whether communi......
Although many studies have focused on the effects of the environment and area on local patterns of species richness, few studies have demonstrated how......
Spatial patterns of biodiversity are inextricably linked to their collection methods, yet no synthesis of bias patterns or their consequences exists. ......
Macroecological relationships provide insights into rules that govern ecological systems. Bergmann's rule posits that members of the same clade are la......
There are numerous ways to estimate the true number of species in a community based on incomplete samples. Nonetheless, comparable approaches to estim......
Climate-driven changes in phenology have widespread effects on ecological interactions and species' abundances. Most predictions of changes in phenolo......
