Untangling the Genetic Basis of Fibrolytic Specialization by Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae in Diverse Gut Communities

Amy S. Biddle, Lucy C. Stewart, Jeffrey L. Blanchard et al. · 9 Aug 2013

The Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae are two of the most abundant families from the order Clostridiales found in the mammalian gut environment, and have been associated with the maintenance of gut health. While they are both diverse groups, they share a common role as active plant degraders. By comparing the genomes of the Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae…

The Relation between Evenness and Diversity

Lou Jost · 11 Feb 2010

Contrary to common belief, decomposition of diversity into independent richness and evenness components is mathematically impossible. However, richness can be decomposed into independent diversity and evenness or inequality components. The evenness or inequality component derived in this way is connected to most of the common measures of evenness and inequality in ecology and economics. This…

Assessing Plant Genetic Diversity by Molecular Tools

Linda Mondini, Arshiya Noorani, M.A. Pagnotta · 6 Aug 2009

This paper is an overview of the diverse, predominantly molecular techniques, used in assessing plant genetic diversity. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the application of molecular genetic methods for assessing the conservation and use of plant genetic resources. Molecular techniques have been applied in the analysis of specific genes, as…

Origin and Domestication of Native Amazonian Crops

Charles R. Clément, Michelly de Cristo-Araújo, Géo Coppens D'Eeckenbrugge et al. · 6 Jan 2010

Molecular analyses are providing new elements to decipher the origin, domestication and dispersal of native Amazonian crops in an expanding archaeological context. Solid molecular data are available for manioc (Manihot esculenta), cacao (Theobroma cacao), pineapple (Ananas comosus), peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) and guaraná (Paullinia cupana), while hot peppers (Capsicum spp.), inga (Inga edulis), Brazil nut…

Direct and Indirect Effects of Climate Change on Amphibian Populations

Andrew R. Blaustein, Susan C. Walls, Betsy A. Bancroft et al. · 25 Feb 2010

As part of an overall decline in biodiversity, populations of many organisms are declining and species are being lost at unprecedented rates around the world. This includes many populations and species of amphibians. Although numerous factors are affecting amphibian populations, we show potential direct and indirect effects of climate change on amphibians at the individual,…

Diversity template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Diversity format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Diversity template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Diversity use?
Diversity uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Diversity 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Diversity?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Diversity document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Diversity template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Diversity format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Diversity?
Diversity - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Diversity PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Diversity template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Diversity template cost?
You can start writing in the Diversity template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Diversity PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
