The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

Abstract Historical biogeography faces a persistent conceptual and methodological dilemma concerning the nature of its central analytical units. Using the recent proposal by Schultz and Cracraft (Cladistics 40, 653) as a catalyst, this article critiques the argument that causal inference necessitates the replacement of areas of endemism with barriers ...

ABSTRACT Aim To characterise the evolution of climatic niches during the diversification of the Phyllotis darwini species group, in order to assess the extent to which divergences involved in radiation were associated with patterns of conservatism or divergence of climatic niches, and whether the differentiation found among climatic niches correlated ...

Mapping Zoonotic Risk With a Biogeographic Perspective on Transmission Cycles
ABSTRACT Aim When mapping the transmission risk of zoonotic diseases, the way vectors and wild carrier hosts are integrated into the modelling process has relevant impacts on the final output. The wide diversity of zoonotic cycles entails that a single methodological approach may be insufficient to cover the influence of vectors and wild carrier hosts ...

ABSTRACT The Amazon and Atlantic forests harbour immense biodiversity shaped by complex evolutionary history with diverse processes leading to species build‐up. We investigated the Cinereous Antshrike species complex (Thamnomanes caesius and T. schistogynus) to disentangle the relative contributions of riverine barriers and historical climatic ...

Estimated number of birds killed by domestic cats in Colombia
Wildlife mortality caused by domestic cats is evident where free-roaming house cats are present in the tropical Andes region, a phenomenon for which there is a lack of scientific reports.

Drivers of phenological transitions in the seedling life stage
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant functional ecology research has primarily focused on juvenile and adult plants even though regeneration from seed can be the most consequential life‐history bottleneck with cascading influence on later stages of growth and reproduction.
