The search for the underlying mecha-nisms of species origin,maintenance and extinction is among the highest priorities in biodiversity science.In parallel with the rapid accumulation of empirical evi-dence for existing theories in this field in China[1],numerous conceptual and the-oretical achievements of basic biodiver-sity science have been made,accompa-nied by methodological breakthroughs.These advances have greatly con-tributed to evolution of the theoretical frameworks of ecology and conservation biology and guided biodiversity man-agement,and,ultimately,could help achieve the vision of ecosystem health and sustainability.Here we focus on the basic biodiversity research in China through the lens of plants.Even with this limited scope,the studies listed here are not exhaustive but an attempt to partly demonstrate the current status of basic biodiversity research in China.Accordingly,this perspective is organized into two closely relevant sections,that is biodiversity origination and main-tenance,and concludes with future research directions.

We report differential phase contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (TEM) ofnanoscale magnetic objects in Kagome ferromagnet Fe3Sn2 nanostructures.This technique can directly detect the deflection angle of a focused electron beam,thus allowing
Coordination-driven self-assembly ofmetallacages has garnered significant interest because of their 3D layout and cavity-cored nature.The well-defined,highly tunable metallacage structures render them particularly attractive for investigating the properti

Trans-Pacific transport of enhanced ozone plumes has been mainly attributed to fossil fuel combustion in Asia in spring,but less attention has been paid to vegetation fires in Asia.Here we show that the El Ni(n)o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-modulated fire
