Within the intensively-studied, well-documented latitudinal diversity gradient, the deep-sea biodiversity of the present-day Norwegian Sea stands out with its notably low diversity, constituting a steep latitudinal diversity gradient in the North Atlantic. The reason behind this has long been a topic of debate and speculation. Most prominently, it is explained by the deep-sea glacial disturbance hypothesis

Wild insects and honey bees are equally important to crop yields in a global analysis Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-17 James Reilly, Ignasi Bartomeus, Dylan Simpson, Alfonso Allen-Perkins, Lucas Garibaldi, Rachael Winfree
Most of the world's food crops are dependent on pollinators. However, there is a great deal of uncertainty in the strength of this relationship, especially regarding the relative contributions of the honey bee (often a managed species) and wild insects to crop yields on a global scale. Previous data syntheses have likewise reached differing conclusions on whether pollinator species diversity, or only

occTest: An integrated approach for quality control of species occurrence data Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Josep M. Serra-Diaz, Jeremy Borderieux, Brian Maitner, Coline C. F. Boonman, Daniel Park, Wen-Yong Guo, Arnaud Callebaut, Brian J. Enquist, Jens-C. Svenning, Cory Merow
Species occurrence data are valuable information that enables one to estimate geographical distributions, characterize niches and their evolution, and guide spatial conservation planning. Rapid increases in species occurrence data stem from increasing digitization and aggregation efforts, and citizen science initiatives. However, persistent quality issues in occurrence data can impact the accuracy

Climbing mechanisms as a central trait to understand the ecology of lianas across the tropics Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Arildo S. Dias, Rafael S. Oliveira, Fernando R. Martins, Frans Bongers, Niels P. R. Anten, Frank J. Sterck
Lianas are a central component of tropical forests. However, how the type of climbing mechanisms is related to the functional and taxonomic diversity of lianas across the tropics, remains largely unresolved. Here, we tested two main hypotheses: (i) the functional diversity of lianas differs with climbing mechanism (active and passive) and (ii) the association between taxonomic diversity with contemporary

KF-metaweb: A trophic metaweb of freshwater ecosystems of South Korea Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. (IF 6.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Sagar Adhurya, Da-Yeong Lee, Young-Seuk Park
The metaweb is a dictionary of nodes and their potential interactions developed for a particular region, focusing on a particular type of ecosystem. Based on the local biodiversity information at different spatial and temporal scales, the regional metaweb can be easily decomposed into local webs. The generated local webs are useful for understanding spatiotemporal variations in ecological interactions
