Functional diversity is the variability in the functional roles carried out by species within ecosystems. Changes in the environment can affect this component of biodiversity and can, in turn, affect different processes, including some ecosystem services. This study aimed to determine the effect of forest loss on species richness, abundance and functional diversity of Neotropical bats. To this ...

Parasitic plants have major impacts on plant community structure through their direct negative influence on host productivity and competitive ability. However, the possibility that these parasites may also have indirect impacts on community structure (via the mechanism of nutrient-rich litter input) while long hypothesized, has remained unsupported until now. Using the hemiparasite Rhinanthus m...

Zooplankton as an essential component in the pelagic food web are directly linked to ecosystem functioning. Therefore, comprehension of zooplankton functional diversity (FD) and its responses environmental changes is crucial for ecosystem-based view. To identify FD drivers, we analysed 25 years summer data on brackish mesozooplankton community (including rotifers, cladocerans, copepods, meropla...

In this paper, we propose an integrated model that explains performance impacts of IS at the individual level. We include nature of IS use, task-technology-fit and IS use as determinants of performance impacts of IS at the individual level. Based on data from 434 respondents from different functional areas in six different organizations, we empirically validate the integrated model for an indiv...
