Seasonal flooding regime and ecological traits influence genetic structure of two small rodents. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol, 2014
We examined population genetic structure and diversity of two cricetid rodent species from the mid‐Araguaia River in central Brazil, using mitochondrial DNA sequence data. Species with different ecological adaptations have different responses to physical and temporal events, and such events can leave fingerprints on the genetic diversity and ...

The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol, 2017
The collation of biodiversity datasets with broad taxonomic, biogeographic, and spatial extents is necessary to understand historical declines and to project—and hopefully avert—future declines. We describe and make freely available a database of more than 3.2 million biodiversity measurements from 94 countries representing over 47,000 species ...

Adaptation potential of Neotropical montane oaks to drought events: Wood anatomy sensitivity in Quercus delgadoana and Quercus meavei

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 2040-2055, July 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate and local water availability are major evolutionary drivers of adaptive variation and plasticity in the hydraulic architecture of Tropical Montane Cloud Forest (TMCF) tree species.

Modelling the scope to conserve an endemic‐rich mountain butterfly taxon in a changing climate

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 451-467, July 2023., 2023
We tested how climate change will affect the mountain butterfly Erebia genus in the Iberian Peninsula, using species distribution models at two scales of data precision (10 × 10 and 1 × 1 km). Climate change seems to be negatively affecting mountain species, with the 19 species of the genus Erebia suffering decreases in climatically favourable areas ...

voluModel: Modelling species distributions in three‐dimensional space

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 841-847, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Ecological niche modelling (ENM), species distribution modelling and related spatial analytical methods were first developed in two‐dimensional (2‐D) terrestrial systems; many common ENM workflows organize and analyse geographically structured occurrence and environmental data based on 2‐D latitude and longitude coordinates.

Unravelling the historical biogeography of the European rabbit subspecies in the Iberian Peninsula

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 1-14, January 2023., 2023
We used biogeographical spatial models to understand the biogeography of the two subspecies of European rabbit that are found in the Iberian Peninsula. After the last glaciation, each subspecies expanded from its own isolated core, as suggested by the two maps.

Determinants of population persistence and abundance of terrestrial and arboreal vertebrates stranded in tropical forest land‐bridge islands

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 870-883, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Megadams are among the key modern drivers of habitat and biodiversity loss in emerging economies. The Balbina Hydroelectric Dam of Central Brazilian Amazonia inundated 312,900 ha of primary forests and created approximately 3500 variable‐sized islands that still harbor vertebrate populations after nearly 3 decades after isolation. We estimated

Host diversity outperforms climate as a global driver of symbiont diversity in the bird‐feather mite system

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 416-426, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim The simultaneous influence of abiotic and biotic factors as main drivers of global species distributions remains poorly understood, especially in host‐dependent groups. In this study, we diverge from traditional macroecological approaches by considering both biotic (avian species diversity) and abiotic (climatic) factors in determining the
