Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China
ABSTRACT The chorotype, a group of species with similar distributions, provides critical insights into biogeographical patterns. Despite recent advances in taxonomic discovery and revision, one‐third of terrestrial vertebrates in China remain unclassified into established chorotypes, hindering understanding of the zoogeographical ...

Past connections with the mainland structure patterns of insular species richness in a continental-shelf archipelago (Aegean Sea, Greece). [PDF]
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.

Modelling chorotypes of invasive vertebrates in mainland Spain
ABSTRACTWe investigated the existence of chorotypes – assemblages of species with similar geographical ranges – of invasive species in a host territory, and their potential use to advocate similar control or management strategies for species in the same chorotype.
