The manuscript presents the first phylogeographic analysis of Siraitia grosvenorii, an economic plant species distributed in subtropical China. Our results clarify not only the population genetic structure of S. grosvenorii, but also determin the geographic origins of cultivated S. grosvenorii.

Abstract Pleistocene sea‐level change played a significant role in the evolution and assembly of island biotas. The formation of land bridges between islands during Quaternary glacial maxima, when sea levels were more than 120 metres below present‐day sea levels, often facilitated historical dispersal and gene flow between islands that are today ...

An analytically derived delineation of the West African Coastal Province based on bivalves
Abstract Aim To assess the pattern of biotic regions (BR) and their boundaries, to detect chorotypes and to relate these patterns to key environmental factors. Location Eastern Atlantic Ocean. Time period Recent. Taxon studied Bivalvia. Methods Distributions were scored for 595 species. Operational geographical units are classified hierarchically using

The biogeographic origin of the species‐rich steppe grasslands in central Europe has long been debated. The alternative hypotheses are long‐term species persistence in situ versus immigration from the south‐east, either after the last glacial maximum (LGM) or after the Neolithic landscape deforestation.

Hay meadows' overriding effect shapes ground beetle functional diversity in mountainous landscapes
Abstract Mountain regions are hotspots of biodiversity, and are particularly sensitive to human activities and global changes. Characterizing biodiversity using trait‐based approaches may improve the understanding of the evolutionary and mechanistic basis of ecological patterns in species distribution.

Longitudinal vegetation turnover in an eastern Rift Valley riparian corridor
Abstract East African riparian corridors are biodiversity hot spots that occur in catchments degrading under deforestation and overgrazing. Quadrats and belt transects were employed to investigate plant succession along the River Gilgil, in the Kenyan Rift Valley. The study found that most species (total 365) were broadly distributed across the tropics,
