The legacy of Eastern Mediterranean mountain uplifts: rapid disparity of phylogenetic niche conservatism and divergence in mountain vipers [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background The orogeny of the eastern Mediterranean region has substantially affected ecological speciation patterns, particularly of mountain-dwelling species.

Comparison of venom from wild and long-term captive Gloydius caucasicus and the neutralization capacity of antivenom produced in rabbits immunized with captive venom [PDF]

Heliyon, 2020
Gloydius caucasicus (NIKOLSKY, 1916) is a member of the Viperidae family in Iran.Comprehensive understanding of the toxigenic characteristics of snake venom is important for clinical monitoring of snakebite patients and effective therapy. We compared the

Global mismatch between fishing dependency and larval supply from marine reserves [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2017
The effectiveness of marine reserves relies on whether they supply substantial recruitment outside their boundaries. Here, Andrello and colleagues use models of larval fish dispersal to show that countries most dependent on coastal fisheries receive the ...

Utilisation des modèles de niche pour l'évaluation des risques d'établissement des espèces exotiques [PDF]

Sciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2012
Afin de mieux anticiper et évaluer les risques d'invasions des espèces exotiques envahissantes, il est indispensable d'acquérir un maximum de connaissances sur l'écologie, la biologie et la biogéographie de ces espèces.

Mind the uncertainty: Global plate model choice impacts deep‐time palaeobiological studies

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 3007-3019, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Global plate models (GPMs) aim to reconstruct the tectonic evolution of the Earth by modelling the motion of the plates and continents through time. These models enable palaeobiologists to study the past distribution of extinct organisms. However, different GPMs exist that vary in their partitioning of the Earth's surface and the modelling of ...

Overlooked species diversity in the hyper‐arid Sahara Desert unveiled by dryland‐adapted lizards

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 101-115, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Hyper‐arid sandy and rocky fields rank among the least biologically diverse habitats of the desert biome, yet knowledge of local biodiversity patterns is also extremely poor. In the Sahara Desert, palaeoclimate oscillations affected the extent of hyper‐arid habitats, but it is unclear how these dynamics determined the evolution and ...

Responses of 73 Ecologists Important in Developing the Foundations of Ecology: Summary of a 1952–59 and 1972 Survey

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 103, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Many of the early leading ecologists, especially Americans, were surveyed (primarily between 1952 and 1959) to learn what (1) initially inspired an ecological interest, (2) stimulated a major career direction in ecology, and (3) was one’s major career accomplishment.

Un siècle de biogéographie française

Bulletin de l’Association de Géographes Français, 2020
French biogeography has undergone changes in its approaches over the course of the years, constantly renewing its questions and methods. Crossing several periods during the 20th century, the geographers’ biogeography experienced a true renaissance in the

Nos sœurs les plantes, une pensée interdisciplinaire pour aborder le vivant en termes de parenté

Natures Sciences Sociétés, 2022
La classification phylogénétique a mis fin à la distinction ontologique et scientifique entre les animaux et les plantes. Elle remet en question la partition entre ces deux règnes et réfute la thèse aristotélicienne dissociant les humains, les animaux et

The Chic-Choc Mountains are the last southern refuge for Arctic lichens in eastern North America

Arctic Science, 2016
Endemic and disjunct populations of vascular plants and cryptogams occurring in the Chic-Choc Mountains on the Gaspé Peninsula in eastern Québec, Canada, have been attracting botanists for over a century.
