The optimal temperature for photosynthesis (Topt), the temperature at which photosynthesis peaks, is crucial for estimating gross primary production (GPP). Most models, however, apply biome‐specific Topt, overlooking the spatial and temporal variability driven by the genetic adaptation and interannual thermal acclimation of plants, thus introducing systematic error in GPP estimation. We mapped Topt of Tibetan Plateau (TP) gras...

Phylogenetic origin of an insect fauna at the boundary of the Palaearctic and Oriental realms: Evidence from ‘site‐based’ mitogenomicsNARA Subscribed
Aim Knowledge of taxonomy and species distributions in highly diverse lineages of invertebrates remains too incomplete for the study of biogeographical patterns at the global scale. This limits the understanding of processes leading to the formation and maintenance of boundaries between major biogeographical realms. Site‐based metagenomic approaches may provide an alternative source of data for inference of historical processe...
Combining camera trap surveys and IUCN range maps to improve knowledge of species distributionsNARA Subscribed
Reliable maps of species distributions are fundamental for biodiversity research and conservation. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) range maps are widely recognized as authoritative representations of species’ geographic limits, yet they might not always align with actual occurrence data. In recent area of habitat (AOH) maps, areas that are not habitat have been removed from IUCN ranges to reduce commi...
Power law in species–area relationship overestimates bacterial diversity in grassland soils at larger scalesNARA Subscribed
Aim Species–area relationships (SAR) are widely utilized for estimating the species richness and its spatial turnover across various scales. Despite the prevalent characterization of SAR using the power law in many microbial community studies, its efficacy remains unvalidated. This study aims to characterize the microbial SAR and its mechanisms in alpine grassland soils on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP). Location Qinghai‐Tibe...
