Effects of land use on aquatic macrophyte diversity and water quality of ponds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between aquatic macrophyte diversity and water quality in 55 ponds in western Japan and identified the environmental factors that sustain biodiversity and the spatial extent at which these factors operate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global variation in the beta diversity of lake macrophytes is driven by environmental heterogeneity rather than latitude

TL;DR: Gecheva et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a method to identify the root cause of gender discrimination in the media and found that women are more likely to be discriminated against than men.

TL;DR: It is suggested that ignoring non‐English‐language studies may bias outcomes of ecological meta‐analyses, due to systematic differences in study characteristics and effect‐size estimates between English‐ and non-English languages.

TL;DR: Fabaceae is a good proxy for overall angiosperm diversity in many habitats and that much relevant data for GLDA are available, and a truly global legume diversity assessment is called for by wider geographic collabora- tions among various scientists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consequences of the introduction of exotic and translocated species and future extirpations on the functional diversity of freshwater fish assemblages
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that both exotic and translocated species may change FD and functional group composition, which might have dramatic consequences for ecosystem processes, and suggested that the future extirpation of even a few native species can cause a substantial loss of FD.
