Satellite to Seafloor - The Global Biogeography of the Elasipodid Holothurians

open access: yes, 2012
Knowledge of the environmental factors driving species distributions in the deep-sea is essential for a better understanding of the biogeography of the abyssal benthos.

Testing newly developed PCR primers for high-specificity enrichment of bees from terrestrial eDNA

open access: yesBMC Research Notes
Objective Plant-derived environmental DNA (eDNA) considerably improved our ability to study terrestrial arthropod communities. However, bee pollinators are still underrepresented in eDNA analyses.

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

The emergence and complexification of symbolic practices in the Homo lineage: an archaeological and cognitive perspective Émergence et complexification des pratiques symboliques dans la lignée Homo : une approche archéologique et cognitive

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Recent archaeological discoveries, reviewed in this essay, challenge traditional views on the emergence of human symbolic cognition. Once believed to have originated in Europe around 40,000 years ago, new evidence shows it emerged much earlier across diverse regions.

Folklore Studies, Fieldwork and the Making of a Domestic Anthropology in Fin‐de‐Siècle Britain

open access: yesHistory, EarlyView.
Abstract This article follows the ‘communities of knowledge‐making’ that formed around folklore collection at the end of the nineteenth century. Often regarded as eccentric or marginal figures in the history of human science, these collectors in fact engaged in lively and sophisticated discussions about the methodologies needed to study the mental ...

Co‐phylogeny and biogeography of the myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri (Carabidae, Paussinae) and its host ant Pheidole pallidula (Hymenoptera, Myrmicinae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Strict patterns of co‐divergence have rarely been documented other than among organisms and their symbionts. In this paper, using a molecular approach, we inferr the population‐level phylogenies of a Mediterranean ant species Pheidole pallidula and its nest parasite, the obligate myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri. We then investigate the role of co‐

Re-evaluating the general dynamic theory of oceanic island biogeography

open access: yes, 2013
[Departement_IRSTEA]Territoires [TR1_IRSTEA]SEDYVINThe general dynamic model of oceanic island biogeography integrates temporal changes in ecological circumstances with diversification processes, and has stimulated current research in island biogeography.

Mainland diversification and recent island lineages in the reduviid genus Tapirocoris: an integrative taxonomic framework with four new species

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Using an integrative taxonomic framework that combines COI DNA barcodes, geometric morphometrics and phylogeography, we revise the assassin bug genus Tapirocoris and recover seven well‐supported species, including four newly described cryptic species.

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...
