Section: Taxonomic and Functional Beta Diversity Of Benthic Diatomssupporting

confidence: 90%

“…Furthermore, the study revealed that both the total and turnover of functional beta diversity were significantly lower than their taxonomic counterparts, consistent with findings from several previous studies (e.g., Perez Rocha et al., 2019 , Wu et al., 2021 , Wu, Wang et al., 2022 ). This pattern of functional convergence has been observed across various taxa, including butterfly (Zhou et al., 2022 ), birds (Zeng et al., 2022 ), macroinvertebrates (Wu, Liu et al., 2022 ), fish (Wu, Lv et al., 2022 ), and cerambycid beetles (Bezerra‐Gusmao et al., 2022 ). Similar to other beta diversity studies of the diatom community, functional nestedness was a bit higher than turnover of functional beta diversity (Perez Rocha et al., 2019 ; Wang et al., 2022 ; Wu et al., 2021 ).…”

Understanding the processes and mechanisms that shape the distribution patterns and variations of biodiversity along spatial gradients continues to be a priority for ecological research. We focused on the biodiversity of benthic diatom communities within a large near‐natural watershed. The objectives are: (1) to explore the overall spatial patterns of benthic diatom biodiversity; (2) to investigate the effects associated with watercourse position and environmental variables, as well as both common and rare species on two facets (i.e., taxonomic and functional) of alpha and beta diversity; and (3) to unveil the mechanisms underlying their spatial variations. Alpha diversity indices along the stream watercourse showed a clear increasing trend from upstream to downstream sites. Results of random forest regression identified conductivity as the primary factor influencing functional alpha diversity, while elevation emerged as the predominant factor for taxonomic alpha diversity. Beta diversity partitioning revealed that taxonomic beta diversity generally exceeded functional beta diversity. These diversity measures exhibited different patterns along the watercourse position: taxonomic beta diversity remained relatively consistent along the watercourse, whereas functional total beta diversity and its two components of middle stream sites were lower than those of upstream and downstream sites. Functional beta diversity was sustained by dominant and common species, while rare species made significant contributions to taxonomic beta diversity. Both taxonomic and functional beta diversity and its components displayed a stronger influence from spatial factors than from local environmental, geo‐climatic, and nutrient variables. Collectively, taxonomic and functional alpha and beta diversity demonstrated distinct responses to the main environmental gradients and spatial factors within our catchment, highlighting their different insights into diatom diversity. Furthermore, research is required to assess the generalizability of our findings to similar ecosystems. In addition, this study presents opportunities for expansion to include other taxa (e.g., macroinvertebrates and fish) to gain a comprehensive understanding of the driving mechanisms behind stream biodiversity.

“…The results of this study show that low humidity and temperature have the greatest effect on the predicted distributions of the two models. This suggests that temperature and moisture have significant effects on the life cycle and metabolism of insects and their interactions with host plants (Bezerra‐Gusmão et al, 2022; Cornelissen, 2011; Musiolek et al, 2022). Pagadala et al (2021) showed that tomato plants were not attractive to T. absoluta under severely moisture stressed conditions compared with other treatment groups.…”

The Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) originated in South America and is a major pest of the economically critical solanaceous crops. It is devastating to tomatoes, attacking mainly the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of tomato plants, and can cause up to 100% damage. T. absoluta invaded China in 2017 and expanded rapidly, severely impacting the tomato industry. To illustrate the detailed potential distribution of T. absoluta in China, we used CLIMEX and MaxEnt models to predict the potential distribution of this pest using historical and future climate data. CLIMEX predicts a wider potential distribution area for T. absoluta in China than MaxEnt, which suggests that most of China is suitable for its distribution, except for the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang, western Inner Mongolia and northwestern Gansu. Both models accurately predicted the known distribution of T. absoluta in the provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi, and the predictions by both models suggest the total distribution range of T. absoluta in China is to increase slightly with future changes in climate temperature. These predictions will help understand the influence of climate change on the potential distribution of T. absoluta in China and thus provide a theoretical foundation for developing early monitoring, quarantine and control strategies.
