Data from publication: Castillioni, K., & Isbell, F. (2023). Early positive spatial selection effects of beta-diversity on ecosystem functioning. Landscape Ecology, 1-15. Spatial beta-diversity may increase landscape productivity if there are positive spatial selection effects. Alternatively, dominant species in mixtures might not be the most productive species in monoculture leading to negative or neutral spatial selection effects. However, these hypotheses remain untested experimentally. Seedling survival can determine species establishment, influencing productivity later. To address this knowledge gap, we experimentally tested whether transplanted seedlings of dominant species optimally sort among habitat types (grassland dominated by Andropogon gerardii, savanna by Quercus macrocarpa, deciduous forest by Acer rubrum, coniferous forest by Pinus strobus, bog by Larix laricina), creating positive effects of landscape diversity on seedling survival and net biodiversity effects at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve (CCESR) in Minnesota, USA. The study is named BetaDIV and consists of 100 plots (20 plots per habitat × 5 habitats). Each of the five habitats includes two true replicate monocultures for each of the five species and two true replicates for each of the five possible mixture compositions of four species (leaving each one out in turn to eventually explore the effect of species identity). Each plot is 1.5 by 1.5 m, with 12 seedlings planted 0.5 m apart in a 4 × 4 square grid, except in the plot corners. In the early June 2022, we tagged and planted all seedlings (i.e., bareroot seedlings for trees and plugs for the grass A. gerardii). Two weeks after the initial transplanting, we started tracking seedling survival (presented here) to investigate how seedlings responded to local habitat conditions. We conducted a seedling census for each of the 1200 tagged seedlings (12 seedlings per plot×100 plots), in early September 2022, which was two months at the end

Fig. 1 in (macro-) Evolutionary ecology of parasite diversity: From determinants of parasite species richness to host diversification
Fig. 1. Expression of the basic transmission rate (R0) for the case of microparasites (i.e. viruses) and macroparasites (i.e. helminths with direct transmission) (for derivations of these expressions see Morand and Deter, 2008), emphasizing the importance of two host traits, longevity and density, as likely determinants of parasite invasion and then parasite species richness. In the right panel, relationships showing that both density and longevity are in allometry with host body mass (after Brown, 1995).
Fig. 2 in (macro-) Evolutionary ecology of parasite diversity: From determinants of parasite species richness to host diversification
Fig. 2. (A) Variability of ectoparasite species richness among 113 families of mammals (20 orders) (data from Kim, 1985;see Poulin and Morand, 2004). (B) Ectoparasite species richness is related to mammal diversification. The statistical analysis follows Nunn et al. (2004), where the change in the number of descendent clades is related to the change in the number of ectoparasite species, estimated using a modified version of the independent contrast method (Agapow and Isaac, 2002), for each node of the mammal phylogeny (from Binida-Emonds et al., 2007).

Fig. 6 in Exploring the diversity and ecology of testate amoebae in West Siberian peatlands
Fig. 6. Plots of taxon abundance versus moisture content for the twelve most abundant testate amoeba taxa. All taxa show a significant correlation with moisture (Spearman Rs, P <0.05) with the exception of Nebela tincta.
Fig. 2 in Exploring the diversity and ecology of testate amoebae in West Siberian peatlands
Fig. 2. Author location based on institutional details for 652 publications listed in SCOPUS containing the phrase 'testate amoebae' in keywords, abstract and title. SCOPUS is not a comprehensive source of data on testate amoeba publication (probable biases towards the more recent and English language literature) but provides a reasonable representation of the overall state of the literature. Colour density is proportional to number of publications with grey shading for countries with no identified publications. Map created using the StatSilk mapper tool.
Fig. 1 in Exploring the diversity and ecology of testate amoebae in West Siberian peatlands
Fig. 1. Trends in publications including the phrase 'testate amoebae' in title, keywords or abstract as determined by a SCOPUS search February 2017. Database publication trends are not necessarily an accurate reflection of quantity of research as not all older material is digitized and there has been a general trend for researchers to publish a greater number of shorter papers. However results are comparable between search terms so it is interesting to note the same data for 'naked amoebae' as a comparison. An important driver of increasing research is palaeoecology and some key events are highlighted for comparison.
