AbstractThe tendency of species to retain ancestral ecological distributions (phylogenetic niche conservatism) is thought to influence which species from a species pool can persist in a particular environment. Thus, investigating the relationships between measures of phylogenetic structure and environmental variables at a global scale can help understand the variation in species richness and phylogenetic structure in biological assemblages across the world.

It is extremely challenging but critical to regulate the structural attributes and physicochemical behaviors of metal-oxo clusters in a controllable manner. Connecting versatile building units and importing aromatic ligands into crystalline materials facilitates the construction of unprecedented structures and provides a platform for the interpretation of structure–activity relationships at the molecular level.
