The paper introduces a probabilistic equivalent number index for assemblages of units represented as probability density functions, enabling additive partitioning across scales in ecological and biological contexts.

The paper examines how intraspecific and intraindividual leaf trait variability change with tree species richness and their impact on community functional diversity.

The paper introduces a functional Red List Index (fRLI) to monitor functional diversity trends by weighting species by morphological uniqueness, finding higher extinction risk for locally unique species.

This study shows that global bird diversity conservation needs both threat reduction and targeted recovery programs to prevent extinctions and functional diversity loss.

The paper examines how interactions between six anthropogenic threats affect functional and phylogenetic diversity in Testudines and Crocodilia, finding synergistic effects when diseases or invasive species interact with other threats.

This paper reanalyzes data from Gross et al. to show that phenotypic diversity in drylands may not increase as much with aridity as previously thought.
