The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level

Oikos, EarlyView.
Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed methodological approach to quantify the relative legacies in situ diversification history (i.e.

Stratified sampling enhances the understanding of bat–fruit networks in the southern Atlantic Forest

Oikos, EarlyView.
Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

Temporal changes in the dietary niche of sympatric seals provides insight into the role of competition in population declines

Oikos, EarlyView.
Competition theory suggests that interspecific prey competition can result in changes to the dietary niche, but obtaining timeseries of data from sympatric species experiencing temporal variation in competition is challenging. Scotland is an important area for two species of seals, but over the past 20 years, populations of harbour seals Phoca vitulina

Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

Oikos, EarlyView.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

From the brink of extinction to regulation: northern Europe's white‐tailed eagles now face density dependence and climate constraints after rapid population growth

Oikos, EarlyView.
Population growth reflects the combined influence of regulation and density‐independent factors operating through demographic processes. Under exceptional circumstances (e.g. populations recovering from near‐extinction), growth may initially be weakly regulated but typically slows as negative density dependence (NDD) sets in.

Hallazgo de Pelliciera Rhizophorae Triana & Planchon (Theaceae) en la Costa del Atlántico, con observaciones taxonómicas y biogeográficas preliminares

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 1982
Pelliciera rhizopharae Triana & Planchon es reported for the first time in the Atlantic Coast. This species has been considered so far as an endemics in the tropical American Pacific coast. Some biogeographical and taxonomic observations are included, as
