The effects of tropical forest management on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning by Slade, EM

“…There was a corresponding decrease in ecosystem functioning (dung and seed removal) with a decrease in species richness, and a decrease in the biomass of large nocturnal tunnellers, suggesting that although some species are dominant, rare species are also needed to preserve full ecosystem functioning. 6. …”

Geographic variation in diversity of wave exposed rocky intertidal communities along central Chile Variación geográfica de la biodiversidad en hábitats intermareales rocosos de Chi... by BERNARDO R BROITMAN, FREDY VÉLIZ, TATIANA MANZUR, EVIE A WIETERS, G RANDALL FINKE, PAULINA A FORNES, NELSON VALDIVIA, SERGIO A NAVARRETE

“…Two estimators of local (alpha) diversity were used: observed local species richness, calculated from the asymptote of a species-rarefaction curve, and the Chao2 index, which takes into account the effect of rare species on estimates of local richness. We identified a total of 71 species belonging to 66 genera for a total of 86 taxa. …”

Grazing regime alters plant community structure via patch‐scale diversity in semiarid grasslands by Wenhuai Li, David U. Hooper, Liji Wu, Jonathan D. Bakker, Andros T. Gianuca, X. Ben Wu, Friedhelm Taube, Chaonan Wang, Yongfei Bai

“…In contrast, species richness and ANPP did not differ significantly between the two management regimes, though soil hardness in heavily grazed patches was significantly higher under the continuous grazing regime than the mixed grazing–mowing regime. Loss of rare species under both management regimes, even at low to moderate grazing intensities, suggests that selective grazing and patch formation may not conform with the IDH. …”

New Data on the Occurrence of Scarabaeoid Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in Montenegro by Adam Byk, Marek Bidas, Tomasz Gazurek, Dawid Marczak, Łukasz Minkina, Sebastian Tylkowski

“…Our results indicate insufficient knowledge of the Scarabaeoidea of Montenegro and, at the same time, their diversity and the presence of rare species among them. High-mountain and coastal communities of coprophagic scarabaeoid beetles, as well as communities of scarabaeoid beetles inhabiting coastal dunes, are especially valuable, worthy of protection. …”
