Energy, water, and broad-scale geographic patterns of species richness
It is often claimed that we do not understand the forces driving the global diversity gradient. However, an extensive literature suggests that contemporary climate constrains terrestrial taxonomic richness over broad geographic extents. Here, we review the empirical literature to examine the nature and form of the relationship between climate and richness. Our goals were to document the support...
متن کاملBroad-Scale Hypotheses do not Account for Species Richness Patterns of Central American Mayflies
I performed an exploratory analysis of four broad-scale hypotheses (area availability, energy availability, habitat heterogeneity and geometric constraints) for changes in species richness over Central American mayfly species, and compared their outcomes at different taxonomic levels. I employed an eigenvector-based spatial filtering to control spatial autocorrelation effects and conducted mult...
متن کاملSpecies Richness Patterns and Water-Energy Dynamics in the Drylands of Northwest China
Dryland ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climatic and land-use changes, while the mechanisms underlying patterns of dryland species richness are still elusive. With distributions of 3637 native vascular plants, 154 mammals, and 425 birds in Xinjiang, China, we tested the water-energy dynamics hypothesis for species richness patterns in Central Asian drylands. Our results supported the water-...
متن کاملModeling broad-scale patterns of avian species richness across the Midwestern United States with measures of satellite image texture
a r t i c l e i n f o Avian biodiversity is threatened, and in order to prioritize limited conservation resources and conduct effective conservation planning a better understanding of avian species richness patterns is needed. The use of image texture measures, as a proxy for the spatial structure of land cover and vegetation, has proven useful in explaining patterns of avian abundance and spec...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
