The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Arhinolemur scalabrinii† Ameghino, 1898 was originally described as a strepsirrhine primate (Mammalia) but has been recognized as an anostomid fish since 2012. It remains the only extinct anostomid species known from complete cranial material.

An equilibrium theory signature in the island biogeography of human parasites and pathogens [PDF]
, 2015 Aim Our understanding of the ecology and biogeography of microbes, including those that cause human disease, lags behind that for larger species. Despite recent focus on the geographical distribution of viruses and bacteria, the overall environmental ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Aldabra Atoll, north of Madagascar and part of the Seychelles Outer Islands, is home to the Aldabra giant tortoise, Aldabrachelys gigantea, the only survivor of several species of giant tortoises that were once widespread on islands across the Western Indian Ocean.

Global biogeography of fungal and bacterial biomass carbon in topsoil
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020 Bacteria and fungi, representing two major soil microorganism groups, play an important role in global nutrient biogeochemistry. Biogeographic patterns of bacterial and fungal biomass are of fundamental importance for mechanistically understanding ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The tongue‐bite apparatus (TBA) is a secondary jaw system found in Osteoglossomorpha and, convergently, Salmonidae. It is thought to have similar prey‐processing functions as the pharyngeal jaws, possibly allowing the oral jaws to evolve separately for more efficient prey capture.

Soil Microbial Biogeography in a Changing World: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives
mSystems, 2020 Soil microbial communities are fundamental to maintaining key soil processes associated with litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and plant productivity and are thus integral to human well-being.

The Quarterly review of biology, 2021 Habitat islands can be defined as distinct patches of habitat surrounded by less contrasting matrix types. In contrast to true island biogeography (traditionally the study of islands surrounded by water), there have been less efforts to synthesize the ...

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents the first unequivocal evidence for the presence of Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) in the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia, based on material recovered from archaeological excavations at Juukan Gorge on Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura country.

A New Dawn for Protist Biogeography
Global Ecology and BiogeographyBiogeographers have believed for a long time that the geographical distributions of protists are only determined by environmental conditions, because dispersal is not limited.
