Inferring ecological explanations for biogeographic boundaries of parapatric Asian mountain frogs [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2018 Background Identifying and understanding the mechanisms that shape barriers to dispersal and resulting biogeographic boundaries has been a longstanding, yet challenging, goal in ecology, evolution and biogeography.

Genetic structuring across marine biogeographic boundaries in rocky shore invertebrates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Biogeography investigates spatial patterns of species distribution. Discontinuities in species distribution are identified as boundaries between biogeographic areas. Do these boundaries affect genetic connectivity?

Zooplankton biogeographic boundaries in the California Current System as determined from metabarcoding. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Within the southern California Current ecosystem there are two well-documented breaks in marine community structure at Point Conception and Punta Eugenia. We explored the presence of similar breaks in a diverse zooplankton community through metabarcoding

Non-native ants are breaking down biogeographic boundaries and homogenizing community assemblages [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAs geographic distance increases, species assemblages become more distinct, defining global biogeographic realms with abrupt biogeographic boundaries.

Population demography maintains biogeographic boundaries [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2022 Abstract Global biodiversity is organized into biogeographic regions that comprise distinct biotas. The contemporary factors maintaining differences in species composition between biogeographic regions are poorly understood. Given the evidence that populations with sufficient genetic variation can adapt to fill new habitats, it is ...

Integrating pattern with process at biogeographic boundaries: the legacy of Wallace [PDF]
Ecography, 2010 Biogeography is a vital discipline today because ofits extraordinarily integrative nature, drawing from andinforming biological and Earth sciences in order to explainthe history and future of life on our planet. Yet, even aswe continue to build more sophisticated syntheses usingmolecular genetics, GIS-based distribution modelling, andever-better ...
