Amphibian and Reptilian Chorotypes in the Arid Land of Central Asia and Their Determinants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractThe analysis of the biogeographic distribution of species is the basis for establishing a strategy for land management and responding to climatic change, but research on the distribution of amphibians and reptiles in the arid land in the middle of Asia is extremely limited. After classifying the chorotypes of amphibians and reptiles in the arid

Ecography, Volume 2022, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 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.

Fuzzy Chorotypes as a Conceptual Tool to Improve Insight into Biogeographic Patterns [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2011 Chorotypes--statistically significant groups of coincident distribution areas--constitute biogeographic units that are fuzzy by nature. This quality has been referred to in the literature but has not been analyzed in depth or methodologically developed.

Hay meadows' overriding effect shapes ground beetle functional diversity in mountainous landscapes
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 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
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 27-42, March 2022., 2022 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,

Phytosociological survey of the desert vegetation of Sinai, Egypt
Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 24, Issue 4, October/December 2021., 2021 For the first time, we present a syntaxonomy of Sinai desert vegetation, and its phytosociology. We compiled a comprehensive database and applied different analyses to it. We found nine classes: Salicornietea fruticosae, Retametea raetam, Haloxylonetea salicornici, Retamo‐Tamaricetea fluviatilis, Acacietea tortilis, Artemisietea herbae‐albae ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 10, Page 5441-5458, May 2021., 2021 In the Aegean archipelago, the shorter lasting configurations of the Late Glacial Maximum promoted increased connectivity with the mainland, thereby counteracting processes promoting endemism. This result contrasts strongly with observations made on oceanic island, where longer lasting configurations largely shaped the current species diversity.
