Leishmaniasis: A review of the disease and the debate over the origin and dispersal of the causaitive parasite Leishmania [PDF]
, 2009 The vector borne disease Leishmaniasis, caused by the Leishmania parasite, is estimated to affect the lives of 12 million people. Manifesting itself into three different clinical forms that center on disfiguring sores and enlargement of several organs ...

Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]
, 2015 Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.

Historical Biogeography of Earwigs
Biology, 2022 The Dermaptera are an insect order exhibiting their highest diversity in the tropical areas of the southern hemisphere. This pattern has been considered a reflection of a Gondwanan origin. However, this hypothesis has not been tested through analytical methods.

Biogeography of a defensive symbiosis [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2014 Mutualistic microorganisms play important roles in nutrition, reproduction and defense of many insects, yet the factors contributing to their maintenance and dispersal remain unknown in most cases. Theory suggests that collaboration can be maintained by repeated interaction of the same partners (partner fidelity) or by selective discrimination against ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

An inordinate fondness?: the number, distributions, and origins of diatom species [PDF]
, 2013 The number of extant species of diatoms is estimated here to be at least 30,000 and probably ca. 100,000, by extrapolation from an eclectic sample of genera and species complexes.

Ecography, EarlyView.Boreal and tundra plant communities are expected to change in biodiversity due to increasing global change pressures such as climate warming. One long‐term scenario is increasing compositional similarity, i.e. biotic homogenization, which has been relatively little studied in high‐latitude plant communities.
