Palaeoclimate has a major effect on the diversity of endemic species in the hotspot of mountain biodiversity in Tajikistan

Scientific Reports, 2021
In a period of ongoing climate changes, identifying drivers of overall and endemic species diversity is a key element in constructing new ecological patterns and determining the main goals of conservation.

How many species in the United States warrant consideration for Endangered Species Act protection? [PDF]

PeerJ
The U.S. Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) currently protects 1,682 species as endangered or threatened. According to the independent scientific organization NatureServe, however, there are more than 10,000 imperiled species in the United States that may ...

Divergence and introgression among the virilis group of Drosophila

Evolution Letters, 2022
Speciation with gene flow is now widely regarded as common. However, the frequency of introgression between recently diverged species and the evolutionary consequences of gene flow are still poorly understood.

From Beethoven to Beyoncé: Do Changing Aesthetic Cultures Amount to “Cumulative Cultural Evolution?”

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
Culture can be defined as “group typical behaviour patterns shared by members of a community that rely on socially learned and transmitted information” (Laland and Hoppitt, 2003, p. 151).

Regional occupancy increases for widespread species but decreases for narrowly distributed species in metacommunity time series

Nature Communications, 2023
Whether a species declines under the current biodiversity crisis could partly depend on its range size. Here, the authors use replicated metacommunity data to identify global patterns in the relationship between species’ range size and changes in ...

The Shape of Species Abundance Distributions Across Spatial Scales

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Species abundance distributions (SADs) describe community structure and are a key component of biodiversity theory and research. Although different distributions have been proposed to represent SADs at different scales, a systematic empirical assessment ...

Mediterranean moth diversity is sensitive to increasing temperatures and drought under climate change

Scientific Reports, 2022
Climate change affects ecosystems worldwide and is threatening biodiversity. Insects, as ectotherm organisms, are strongly dependent on the thermal environment. Yet, little is known about the effects of summer heat and drought on insect diversity. In the

Effect of Phenological Stage and Rooting Enhancers on Physiological Parameters in Stem Cuttings in the Process of Rhizogenesis of Rosa × alba ‘Maiden’s Blush’

Agriculture, 2020
Once-blooming roses belong to difficult-to-root. One-bud leafy cuttings have limited storage capacity, due to the small size of the stem, and are exposed to prolonged stress conditions.

Effects of moisture decrease on behavioural and life history traits in three species of terrestrial isopods

The European Zoological Journal, 2023
In the context of the predicted global warming, we investigated whether the feeding activity and the behaviour of three Oniscidean species (Porcellionides pruinosus, Porcellio laevis and Armadillidium tunisiense) would be affected by the relative ...
