Abstract Context Global change, including land-use change and habitat degradation, has led to a decline in biodiversity, more so freshwater than terrestrial ecosystems. However, the research on freshwaters lags behind marine studies, highlighting need for innovative approaches comprehend biodiversity. Objectives We investigated patterns relationships between biotic uniqueness abiotic environmental drainage basins worldwide. Methods compiled high-quality data aquatic insects (mayflies,...
Abstract Current global environmental change calls for comprehensive and complementing approaches biodiversity conservation. According to recent research, consideration of the diversity Earth's abiotic features (i.e. geodiversity) could provide new insights applications into investigation management biodiversity. However, methods map quantify geodiversity at local scale have not been developed although this is important conservation planning. Here, we introduce a field methodology observing...
Geodiversity is an emerging, multi-faceted concept in Earth and environmental sciences. Knowledge on geo-diversity crucial for understanding functions of natural systems guiding sustainable development. Despite the critical nature geodiversity information, data acquisition analytical methods have lagged behind conceptual developments biosciences. Thus, we propose that research could adopt framework alpha, beta gamma concepts widely used biodiversity research. Especially, would benefit from...
Geodiversity is an essential part of nature's diversity. However, geodiversity insufficiently understood in terms its spatial distribution and relationship to biodiversity over large extents. Here, we present European data at resolutions 1 km 10 km. We assess terrestrial quantitatively as a richness variable (georichness) using commonly employed grid-based approach. The incorporate aspects geological, pedological, geomorphological hydrological diversity, which are also available separate...
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the joint influence of natural disturbance regime, connectivity and biogeography on seasonal variation community structure. Location Drying river networks (DRN) in Europe. Time Period Present. Major Taxa Studied Aquatic macroinvertebrates. Methods We analyse taxonomic trait structure 638 macroinvertebrate communities sampled across 125 reaches with perennial intermittent streamflow, surveyed six DRNs Europe, up to times over 1 year. Results Richness diversity...
True flies comprise approximately one-tenth of all animal species on Earth, yet despite their prevalence and ecological significance in freshwater ecosystems, members the insect order Diptera are frequently neglected stream studies. This absence or inconsistency regarding literature taxonomic lists may leave readers with a sense discrepancy. To illustrate this underrepresentation quantitative investigations, we conducted targeted literature-based meta-analysis, assessing average level...
Abstract Understanding the joint influence of natural disturbance, spatial connectivity and biogeography on biodiversity is essential to forecast its responses climate change. Macroinvertebrate communities in drying river networks constitute an ideal study system understand interplay these ecological processes. We analyze taxonomic functional structure macroinvertebrate sampled across 126 reaches with perennial intermittent streamflow, surveyed six (DRN) Europe, times over one year. Drying...
<div> <p>A variety of ways can be used to measure geodiversity, but no consensus on quantifying it exists date. Most quantifications have thus far focused the abiotic diversity individual sites, which offers only limited views variation nature. It is, therefore, important examine between-site i.e., dissimilarities geofeatures (elements geodiversity) between different sites. For instance, would interesting recognize not most geodiverse sites an area, also that...
