The number of species does not increase evenly when going from local ecosystems to continental scales—a phenomenon ecologists ...

but do local interactions – like competition and predation — influence the distribution of biodiversity? The fact that some species have greater effects on species richness than others may be ...

Paradoxically, while mechanisms underlying patterns have been the emphasis of research efforts for decades, no accepted, general explanation for the distribution of biodiversity has surfaced, not even ...

Biodiversity is a measure of the variety of different species living in a habitat. The greater the number of different species in a habitat, the greater its biodiversity.

Paradoxically, while mechanisms underlying patterns have been the emphasis of research efforts for decades, no accepted, general explanation for the distribution of biodiversity has surfaced, not even ...

The origin and distribution of biodiversity This project involves floristic and taxon-based research, focusing on key questions of the origin and distribution of biodiversity. The biogeographic ...

Which factors do you consider when moving to a new area: school districts, home size or distance from work? If hundreds of ...

An international team of scientists led by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) has now discovered unexpected patterns in the spatial distribution of tree species, as reported in ...

Biodiversity is the variation in living forms and can be measured in ways that include the number of species, functional variety of species, evenness of species distribution or genetic diversity.
