A season for all things: Phenological imprints in Wikipedia usage and their relevance to conservation | PLOS Biology
Analysis of more than two billion page views over nearly three years for Wikipedia articles for 31,751 species across 245 languages reveals that more than a quarter of species show a seasonal pattern, and several online variations mirror real-world phenology.
Diversification dynamics, species sorting, and changes in the functional diversity of marine benthic gastropods during the...
Functional diversity based on species traits is a powerful tool to investigate how changes in species richness and composition affect ecosystem functioning. However, studies aimed at understanding changes in functional diversity over large temporal and spatial scales are still scant. Here we evaluate the combined effect of diversification and species sorting on functional diversity of fossil marine gastropods during the Pliocene-Quaternary transition in the Pacific coast of South America. We analyzed a total of 172 species in 29 Pliocene and 97 Quaternary sites. Each species was characterized according to six functional traits: body size, feeding type, mobility, attachment, life-habit, and larval mode. Functional diversity was estimated according to four indexes (functional richness, evenness, divergence and dispersion) based on functional traits measured. Extrapolated species richness showed a slight yet not significant decrease from the Pliocene to the Quaternary despite the fact that a large faunal
