Feedbacks Between Biodiversity and Climate Change

, 2022
Summary Climate, more specifically temperature, is one of the main drivers of large-scale biodiversity patterns, as warmer tropics harbor more species than colder high latitudes, constituting the latitudinal diversity gradient, the most pervasive ...

Multiple species delimitation approaches with COI barcodes poorly fit each other and morphospecies – An integrative taxonomy case of Sri Lankan Sericini chafers (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
DNA taxonomy including barcoding and metabarcoding is widely used to explore the diversity in biodiversity hotspots. In most of these hotspot areas, chafers are represented by a multitude of species, which are well defined by the complex shape of male ...

Standardized nuclear markers improve and homogenize species delimitation in Metazoa

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Species are the fundamental units of life and evolution. Their recognition is essential for science and society. Molecular methods have been increasingly used for the identification of animal species, despite several challenges.

Anthropocene Biodiversity Change

Annual Review of Environment and Resources
The predominant narrative of biodiversity loss is gradually shifting toward one of accelerated biodiversity change in the scientific literature. This work recognizes that certain genes, functional traits, species, and entire groups of animals and plants are becoming increasingly successful in novel, anthropogenic environments and expanding into new ...

New evidence on the identity of the European Helorus species (Hymenoptera, Proctotrupoidea, Heloridae) [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Species of Helorus Latreille 1802 are rarely collected endoparasitoids of Chrysopidae larvae (Neuroptera). Previous work on the limits between the European species of this species-poor genus, based on morphology only, has left some uncertainties.

Transcriptomics provides a robust framework for the relationships of the major clades of cladobranch sea slugs (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Heterobranchia), but fails to resolve the position of the enigmatic genus Embletonia

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background The soft-bodied cladobranch sea slugs represent roughly half of the biodiversity of marine nudibranch molluscs on the planet. Despite their global distribution from shallow waters to the deep sea, from tropical into polar seas, and their ...
