Potential distribution of the invasive species of slugs Arion Lusitanicus Sensu Lato in Europe

open access: yesБіологічні студії, 2015
Ecological niche modeling (BIOCLIM) of the invasive slug Arion lusitanicus sensu lato was carried out. Considerable potential for further spread of this species was established. This species was found only in Western Ukraine before our study. However the

A problem with variable selection in a comparison of correlative and process‐based species distribution models: Comments on Higgins et al., 2020

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Comments are presented on an article published in October 2020 in Ecology and Evolution (“Predictive ability of a process‐based versus a correlative species distribution model”) by Higgins et al. This analyzed natural distributions of Australian eucalypt

Enceladus as a Potential Niche for Methanogens and Estimation of Its Biomass

open access: yesLife, 2021
Enceladus is a potential target for future astrobiological missions. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft demonstrated that the Saturnian moon harbors a salty ocean beneath its icy crust and the existence and analysis of the plume suggest water–rock reactions ...

Signals of local bioclimate-driven ecomorphological changes in wild birds

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
AbstractAcross disciplines—biological, ecological, evolutionary, or environmental—researchers increasingly recognize the importance and the need for cost-effective, non-invasive techniques for in-situ morphological measurements of organisms in diverse research contexts.

Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Blessing and curse of bioclimatic variables: A comparison of different calculation schemes and datasets for species distribution modeling within the extended Mediterranean area

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Bioclimatic variables (BCVs) are the most widely used predictors within the field of species distribution modeling, but recent studies imply that BCVs alone are not sufficient to describe these limits. Unfortunately, the most popular database, WorldClim,

Limited drought tolerance in the neotropical seasonally dry forest plants impairs future species richness

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Global climate change will likely modify the plant assemblages of the Neotropical seasonally dry forest based on the physiological capabilities of the species. Abstract Neotropical seasonal dry forest (NSDF) is one of the most threatened ecosystems according to global climate change predictions.

Environmental Adaptation Differences Are Key Factors Determining the Speciation and Future Adaptability of the Five Closely Related Species of the Genus Ophioglossum

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study employs MaxEnt and GARP models to assess the impact of climate change on five closely related Ophioglossum species in China, which are primarily distributed southwest of the Qinling Mountains. Key climatic drivers, particularly precipitation and water vapor pressure, significantly influence their potential ranges, with most species' suitable

Beyond Geography: Climatic Gradients Shape Reeves's Muntjac Population Structure in Taiwan

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
North–south population split in Reeves's muntjac revealed by genome‐wide SNPs. Parallel divergence patterns across mammals in Taiwan suggest shared environmental drivers. Demographic modeling supports historical isolation and asymmetric gene flow.
