Latitudinal patterns of phylogenetic community structure of endemic birds and mammals of China: testing out-of-tropics hypothesis -- A multiscale spatial analysis on the distributional concordance of birds and mammals on Hainan Island, China -- Community structure and potential distribution of amphibian taxa (anura) in Shennongjia Nature Reserve, China -- Quantifying species' fundamental niche using different multivariate ordination methods, testing phylogenetic signals and inferring evolutionary models -- Biodiversity and biogeographic patterns in South and Southeast Asia -- Mapping multiscale richness patterns of endemic vertebrate taxa in western ghats, a tropical biodiversity hotspot in South Asia with a study on the relative importance of spatial and environmental covariates -- Biogeographic zonation and phylogenetic community structure of palm species in South Asia and northern part of Southeast Asia -- Biodiversity patterns and analyses in other Asian-Pacific regions and the world -- The relationship between beta diversity and species-area relationship with a test of the Rapoport's rule in microarthropod communities -- A comparison of amphibian species richness turnover rates over ecoregions and zoogeographic regions of the world -- Theories and thoughts on biodiversity conservation -- Biodiversity maintenance: a comparison of three classical theories -- niche theory, neutral theory and Lotka-Volterra competition theory -- Why do we care about global biodiversity?
Subject: Conservation biology has gradually become one of the mainstream fields in contemporary science. The importance of biodiversity conservation is apparently straightforward to understand: because of global urbanization, industrialization and climate change, people become more knowledgeable about the harmony between human beings, society and nature. Biodiversity science is a leading multidisciplinary science in the 21st century. In Asia, there are two BRIC countries: India and China. Both are giant and developing countries. The population sizes of both countries rank in the top two across the nati.
