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 ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Invasive freshwater bivalves harm native species, ecosystems and biodiversity, and incur economic costs. The enemy release hypothesis posits that invasive species are released from enemies during the invasion process, giving them a competitive advantage in the new environment.

Plant diversity estimates of Mediterranean islands differ among biodiversity databases
Ecography, EarlyView.Large‐scale biodiversity databases encompass three main types of data for plants, namely single species point occurrences, co‐occurrences in vegetation plots, and checklists for specific areas. Evidence shows that such data types exhibit specific biases, reporting different species assemblages at local scales.

Cross‐scale interactions mediate local drivers of nonnative species richness
Ecography, EarlyView.Many well‐supported hypotheses seek to explain drivers of nonnative species richness across spatial scales, but evidence for common patterns among regions and taxa remains inconclusive. This study investigates why consistent patterns are elusive by estimating and assessing cross‐scale interactions, wherein large‐scale factors contextualize patterns ...

An isothermal workflow for low‐cost and PCR‐free field‐based community metabarcoding
Methods in Ecology and EvolutionDNA metabarcoding has revolutionized our ability to monitor ecosystems. However, the method is still rarely used in developing countries where resources are limited and fieldwork is challenging.

Earth History and the Evolution of Caribbean Bats [PDF]
, 2009 Although the natural history of the Caribbean is better understood now than ever before, a general biogeographic explanation for the peculiar faunal composition of the islands remains elusive.

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest
Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism
