We predicted that larger forest remnants hold higher amphibian diversity compared to smaller patches, and that continuously forest sites were more diverse than forest fragments.
These varying substrates increase deadwood heterogeneity and create differing saproxylic community diversity compared to other disturbances.
In particular, cropland monocultures alter insect abundance and diversity compared to adjacent natural habitats.
Tween and sonication extracts presented higher EPS size diversity compared to EDTA extracts.
The coal swamps had a much lower species diversity compared to modern-day tropical rain forests.
The fixation index FWS is an inverse measure of within-infection diversity compared to the overall diversity in the population, so that a value of 1.0 indicates no variation within an infection, and lower values indicate infections with more diversity.
The restoration measures have locally increased channel width, elevation, and morphometrical diversity compared to the unrestored reaches, as well as the morphological quality assessed by MQI.
Interestingly, the group of symptomatic carriers from Hermosillo showed scarce mean nucleotide diversity compared to the asymptomatic carriers (0.0039 ± 0.0030 and 0.0329 ± 0.0286, respectively).
Benthic communities in beaver meadows had significantly lower diversity, compared to streams of unmanaged old-growth primary forests, and managed sites presented intermediate values between the two.
Yet, these changes did not have a great effect on mammal diversity, compared to what happened when the last glacial period ended, the ice retreated in North America, and humans crossed from Asia into America.
We can observe the significant gain achieved using diversity compared to single link cases.
