Climate change is increasing the proportion of river networks experiencing flow intermittence, which in turn reduces local diversity (i.e., α-diversity) but enhances variation species composition among sites β-diversity), with potential consequences on ecosystem stability. Indeed, multiscale theory stability proposes that regional can be attained not only by processes also spatial asynchrony sites. However, it still unknown whether and how scale-dependent changes biodiversity associated...
Abstract Aim Anthropogenic‐driven biodiversity loss can impact ecosystem stability. However, most studies have only evaluated the diversity–stability relationship at local scale and we do not fully understand which factors stabilize animal populations communities across scales. Here, investigate role of species dispersal ability, climate, spatial distance different facets on stability butterfly multiple Location Primarily Western Europe. Time Period 2005–2016. Major Taxa Studied Butterflies...
ABSTRACT Aim The relative importance of traits and phylogeny to predict species extinction risk is unclear it depends on which are measured their phylogenetic conservatism. Here, we evaluate the power functional traits, ecological characteristics, such as range size specialization, climatic risks in European butterflies. Location Europe. Time Period Distribution data from 1981 2002 was used project shifts up 2080. Major Taxa Studied In total, 268 butterfly ( Rhopalocera ). Methods We...
