It represents a good model for analyzing the geographical distribution of diversity in relation to locations proposed as part of the "refuge theory".
The relation of NPP and global diversity does not allow an assessment of the effects of a loss of species.
Obviously, the NPP-diversity relation is not linear across the range of diversity, where the global distribution of diversity is left-skewed towards low diversity.
Onthophagus rhinolophus, a species typically found in conserved forest, unexpectedly showed a positive relation of body condition with landscape diversity and amount of edge, and the presence of altered sites remnants favored its body dry mass, muscle mass and body size.
Based on the differential expression ratio inferred from all human microarray data in NCBI GEO and the list of disease genes curated in public repositories, we systemically analyzed the general relation of AP repertoire with expression diversity and disease susceptibility.
We find no support of any curvilinear relation between diversity and innovation.
While the concern about the consequences of taxon loss has spurred a burst of studies on the relation between diversity, both as driver and as response, with ecosystem functioning and compositional stability (reviewed by [1], [2]), a general agreement on the magnitude and even the direction of this role has not yet been reached [1], [3] [5].
However, in other cases such an ecological relation appears insufficient to explain the full range of diversity.
Central philosophical problems include explication of relevant notions of ecological diversity and stability the relation between diversity and stability.
In fact, the mere presence of diversity on campus may actually harm relations among communities, as diversity left unengaged and unsupported can lead to greater isolation and distrust.
