Limited evidence of biodiversity spillover from forest fragments into oil palm plantations in the Amazon

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1939-1952, August 2025.
Converting primary forest into oil palm plantations results in substantial biodiversity losses, highlighting the urgent need to preserve the few remaining large forest fragments in the area. Measures that enhance matrix permeability are essential to conserving the evolutionary and functional integrity of Amazonian landscapes and mitigating the negative

Effectiveness of Key Biodiversity Areas in representing global avian diversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are the largest and most complete network of significant sites for the global persistence of biodiversity. Although important sites for birds worldwide have been relatively well assessed, a key question is how effectively the global KBA network represents avian diversity.

Phylogenomic approach to integrative taxonomy resolves a century‐old taxonomic puzzle and the evolutionary history of the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 469-494, July 2025.
A comprehensive, integrative study approach combining morphology, population genetics, phylogenetics and biogeography revealed that the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex consists of two species: A. octospinosus and its social parasite A. insinuator.

ECOLOGICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY: A REVIEW WITH EMPHASIS ON CONSERVATION AND THE NEUTRAL MODEL BIOGEOGRAFIA ECOLOGICA: REVISION CON ENFASIS EN CONSERVACION Y EL "MODELO NEUTRAL" BIOGEOGRAFIA ECOLOGICA: REVISION CON ENFASIS EN CONSERVACION Y EL "MODELO NATURAL"

open access: yesGayana, 2008
Ecological biogeography studies the factors that define the spatial distribution of species in the present time. This review summarises recent contributions on ecological biogeography. Most recent articles report environmental factors such as temperature,

Trophic Reorganisation of Animal Communities Under Climate Change

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This study employs a novel modelling approach to analyse and project global transformations in trophic structures driven by 21st‐century climate change. The objective is to assess the impacts of these changes on trophic dynamics, providing insights to inform future research and biodiversity conservation strategies.

Chromosome‐scale reference genome of Pectocarya recurvata, the species with the smallest reported genome size in Boraginaceae

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 3, May-June 2025.
Abstract Premise Pectocarya recurvata (Boraginaceae, subfamily Cynoglossoideae), a species native to the Sonoran Desert (North America), has served as a model system for a suite of ecological and evolutionary studies. However, no reference genomes are currently available in Cynoglossoideae. A high‐quality reference genome for P.

BioTIME 2.0: Expanding and Improving a Database of Biodiversity Time Series

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic ...
