Beta diversity of stream insects differs between boreal and subtropical regions, but land use does not generally cause biotic homogenization

چکیده
AbstractPrevious studies have found mixed results regarding the relationship between beta diversity and latitude. In addition, by influencing local environmental heterogeneity, land use may modify ...

Land use changes in an afrotropical biodiversity hotspot affect stream alpha and beta diversity
Land use changes such as deforestation and agricultural expansion strongly affect stream biodiversity, with several studies demonstrating negative impacts on stream alpha diversity. Effects of forest conversion on stream beta diversity are much harder to predict, both because empirical studies are few and because competing theories suggest opposite responses. Moreover, almost no data exist for ...
متن کاملBiotic Homogenization
Humanity’s migrations across, and subsequent modification of, the landscape have had innumerable effects on the many organisms in which we share this world. Mounting evidence suggests that the dual processes of humanmediated extirpation of native species and the introduction of nonnative species have resulted in significant changes in biological diversity at different spatial scales. Global spe...
متن کاملResponse diversity to land use occurs but does not consistently stabilise ecosystem services provided by native pollinators.
More diverse biological communities may provide ecosystem services that are less variable over space or time. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are rarely investigated empirically in real-world ecosystems. Here, we investigate how a potentially important stabilising mechanism, response diversity, the differential response to environmental change among species, stabilises poll...
متن کاملRelationships between land use , spatial scale and stream macroinvertebrate communities
1. The structure of lotic macroinvertebrate communities may be strongly influenced by land-use practices within catchments. However, the relative magnitude of influence on the benthos may depend upon the spatial arrangement of different land uses in the catchment. 2. We examined the influence of land-cover patterns on in-stream physico-chemical features and macroinvertebrate assemblages in nine...
متن کاملBiotic homogenization and conservation prioritization
Quantitative studies of biotic homogenization can provide useful insights into conservation problems when used appropriately, but can be dangerously misleading when they are not. By separating the concept of biotic homogenization at the global scale from the study of biotic homogenization at spatiallyand temporally-explicit scales, researchers can avoid many of the subtle pitfalls inherent in h...
