Polyploidy in creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) shapes the biogeography of specialist herbivores. [PDF]
J Biogeogr, 2019 AbstractAimWhole‐genome duplication (polyploidy) can influence the biogeography and ecology of plants that differ in ploidy level (cytotype). Here, we address how two consequences of plant polyploidy (parapatry of cytotypes and altered species interactions) shape the biogeography of herbivorous insects.LocationWarm deserts of North America.TaxaGall ...

Modelling the shrub encroachment in a grassland with a Cellular Automata Model [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2014 Arid and semi-arid grasslands of southwestern North America have changed dramatically over the last 150 years as a result of shrub encroachment, i.e. the increase in density, cover and biomass of indigenous shrubby plants in grasslands.
