Sentence examples for richness patterns in from inspiring English sources

Qian, H., Wiens, J. J., Zhang, J. & Zhang, Y. Evolutionary and ecological causes of species richness patterns in North American angiosperm trees.

Future analyses of species richness patterns in watersheds should aim to include a more comprehensive suite of taxonomic groups and should measure richness at multiple spatial scales.

The current belief is that while lower species richness occurs at the poles, macroalgae generally exhibit variable species richness patterns in different areas [22].

2020 richness projections for the low threshold, low CO2, HADCM3 model are relatively similar to current richness patterns in the region, with losses predicted only on the south-eastern fringe of the Appalachian Highlands region (Fig. 3); however, all other scenarios predict a significant loss of species in the southern highlands including the loss of all current species in the region by 2020.

Thus, evaluation of native and exotic richness patterns in other native communities may provide useful information regarding specific ecological conditions.

Climatic water-related factors appear to be a major control of palm species richness patterns in the Americas, but nonetheless there are also historical and unexplained broad-scale spatial patterns [ 34, 35].

In small ecoregions (10 10 km), factors correlating with productivity play only a minor role in species richness patterns, while in large ecoregions (>10 km), NPP modelled from remotely sensed data is able to explain most of the variation in species richness.

In this study, we developed a fine resolution distribution database for 3244 threatened plants, explored richness patterns and evaluated the in situ conservation status of the threatened plants by overlapping the species distribution with terrestrial national and provincial nature reserves (NNRs and PNRs) in China.

The study highlights a need to explore the underlying mechanisms of species richness patterns, particularly for amphibians in macroecology.

We show that the strength of PSRs is dependent on ecoregion size, demonstrating the importance of scaling factors in the determinants of species richness patterns, and the centrality of scale in the long-running debate on the nature of macro-scale PSRs.

We evaluated European stream insect richness along a latitudinal gradient (39° 68° N) and estimated how much of the variation in taxon richness patterns could be explained by natural drivers: current climate, geographic location and topography.
