Co-occurrence frequency in vegetation patches decreases towards the harsh edge along an arid volcanic elevational gradient<sup>a</sup>
Eibes, Pia M.; Eisenbacher, Judith; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Field, Richard; Jentsch, Anke; Köhler, Tina; Vetaas, Ole R.; Irl, Severin D.H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Positive plant–plant interactions are thought to drive vegetation patterns in harsh environments, such as semi-arid areas. According to the stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH), the role of positive interactions between species ... -
Diversity of European habitat types is correlated with geography more than climate and human pressure
Cervellini, Marco; Di Musciano, Michele; Zannini, Piero; Fattorini, Simone; Jiménez-Alfaro, Borja; Agrillo, Emiliano; Attorre, Fabio; Angelini, Pierangela; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Casella, Laura; Field, Richard; Fischer, Jan-Christopher; Genovesi, Piero; Hoffmann, Samuel; Irl, Severin D.H.; Nascimbene, Juri; Rocchini, Duccio; Steinbauer, Manuel; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Chiarucci, Alessandro (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Habitat richness, that is, the diversity of ecosystem types, is a complex, spatially explicit aspect of biodiversity, which is affected by bioclimatic, geographic, and anthropogenic variables. The distribution of habitat ... -
A grid-based map for the Biogeographical Regions of Europe
Cervellini, Marco; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Field, Richard; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Zannini, Pierro; Di Musciano, Michele; Fattorini, Simone; Jiménez-Alfaro, Borja; Rocchini, Duccio; Irl, Severin D.H.; Fischer, Jan-Christopher; Casella, Laura; Angelini, Pirangela; Genovesi, Piero; Nascimbene, Juri; Hoffmann, Samuel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Biogeographical units are widely adopted in ecological research and nature conservation management, even though biogeographical regionalisation is still under scientific debate. The European Environment Agency ... -
Remote sensing of β-diversity: Evidence from plant communities in a semi-natural system
Hoffmann, Samuel; Schmitt, Thomas M; Chiarucci, Alessandro; Irl, Severin D.H.; Rocchini, Duccio; Vetaas, Ole Reidar; Tanase, Mihai A; Mermoz, Stephane; Bouvet, Alexandre; Beierkuhnlein, Carl (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Question: Do remote sensing signals represent β‐diversity? Does β‐diversity agree with community types? Location: UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Reserve, La Palma, Canary Islands. Methods: We recorded perennial, vascular ... -
Scientific floras can be reliable sources for some trait data in a system with poor coverage in global trait databases
Cutts, Vanessa; Hanz, Dagmar M.; Barajas-Barbosa, Martha P.; Algar, Adam C.; Steinbauer, Manuel; Irl, Severin D.H.; Kreft, Holger; Weigelt, Patrick; Fernández-Palacios, José María; Field, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aim Trait-based approaches are increasingly important in ecology and biogeography, but progress is often hampered by the availability of high-quality quantitative trait data collected in the field. Alternative sources of ... -
Snapshot isolation and isolation history challenge the analogy between mountains and islands used to understand endemism
Flantua, Suzette; Payne, Davnah; Borregaard, Michael Krabbe; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Steinbauer, Manuel J.; Dullinger, Stefan; Essl, Franz; Irl, Severin D.H.; Kienle, David; Kreft, Holger; Lenzner, Bernd; Norder, Sietze J.; Rijsdijk, Kenneth F.; Rumpf, Sabine B.; Weigelt, Patrick; Field, Richard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Aim Mountains and islands are both well known for their high endemism. To explain this similarity, parallels have been drawn between the insularity of “true islands” (land surrounded by water) and the isolation of habitats ...
