Latitudinal patterns and large-scale environmental determinants of stream insect richness across Europe

Climatic and Catchment-Scale Predictors of Chinese Stream Insect Richness Differ between Taxonomic Groups

Little work has been done on large-scale patterns of stream insect richness in China. We explored the influence of climatic and catchment-scale factors on stream insect (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera; EPT) richness across mid-latitude China. We assessed the predictive ability of climatic, catchment land cover and physical structure variables on genus richness of EPT, both individually ...

Large-Scale Structures in Ilkhanid Architecture and Gothic Style of Europe

The mutual experience of European architecture during the transmission phase of Romanesque (around 11th and 12th centuries) to Gothic style simultaneous with Mongol invasions and political revolution from Seljuk empire to Ilkhanids have been assumed as a turning point through Iranian and European architecture. Thus, clarifying its mutual properties is one of the controversial discussion topics ...

Amphibian species richness across environmental gradients

Large-scale field patterns are a fundamental source of inferences on processes responsible for variation in species richness among habitats. We examined species richness of larval amphibian communities in 37 ponds over seven years on the Univ. of Michigan’s E. S. George Reserve. Ordination of the community incidence matrix indicated a strong major axis of variation in species associations that ...
