Biodiversity and Scale: Determinants of Species Richness in Great Smoky Mountains National Park

There is a great need for simple yet flexible and biologically meaningful ways of classifying landscapes using readily available data for the purposes of inventorying and monitoring biodiversity. In this paper we describe a strategy developed for the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (NC and TN, USA) that establishes an objective and iterative approac...

Biodiversity of Aspergillus species in soils of the National Park of Urmia Lake (NW Iran)

In the present study, nine species of Aspergillus, viz., A. alliaceus, A. ochraceus, A. persii, A. leproris, A. parasiticus, A. fumigatiaffinis, A. sydowii, A. niger, A. tubingensis and Eurotium amstelodami were obtained and identified from soils of the National Park of Urmia Lake, based on cultural and morphological characteristics. All of the species are newly recorded from hypersaline soils ...

Effects of Management on Lichen Species Richness, Ecological Traits and Community Structure in the Rodnei Mountains National Park (Romania)

Lichens are valuable bio-indicators for evaluating the consequences of human activities that are increasingly changing the earth's ecosystems. Since a major objective of national parks is the preservation of biodiversity, our aim is to analyse how natural resource management, the availability of lichen substrates and environmental parameters influence lichen diversity in Rodnei Mountains Nation...

Taxonomic richness and abundance of cryptic peracarid crustaceans in the Puerto Morelos Reef National Park, Mexico

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cryptic peracarids are an important component of the coral reef fauna in terms of diversity and abundance, yet they have been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the taxonomic richness and abundance of cryptic peracarids in coral rubble in the Puerto Morelos Reef National Park, Mexico (PMRNP), and their relationship with depth. METHODS Three reef sites we...
