The former distribution of White‐tailed Eagles in Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East: a case study of the importance of understanding historical distribution in informing current conservation and restoration interventions

Ibis, EarlyView.
The importance of considering historical data in developing conservation and restoration measures for individual species and for wider ecological restoration has been pointed out by recent reviews but often remains neglected in practice. This paper provides a case study illustrating the issue through a review of the former breeding distribution of the ...

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Tooth morphology of deep‐water catsharks of the genus Apristurus (Chondrichthyes: Pentanchidae) in the North Atlantic Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The deep‐water catshark family (Pentanchidae) is the most species‐rich family among extant shark lineages. Within this family, the genus Apristurus is the largest, comprising small, deep‐sea species characterised by elongated bodies and dorso‐ventrally compressed snouts. Five Apristurus species are currently recognised from the North Atlantic,

Cryptic diversity and recent diversification in the Pyrrhulina australis species complex (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae) revealed by mitochondrial DNA

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pyrrhulina australis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, is widely distributed across the main hydrographic basins of South America. The taxonomic integrity of this species is nevertheless challenged by the lack of clear diagnostic characters, its marked geographic variation and the morphological overlap with its congeners. In this context, the present

Taxonomic inflation in fish systematics: A critical review with illustrative evidence assessment and integrative case study of the Salmo trutta Complex

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish species are being described at an accelerating rate, but a substantial fraction of recent descriptions rests on evidentiary standards too weak to distinguish genuine species‐level discontinuities from intraspecific variation, local adaptation and the artefacts of single‐marker analyses, a pattern of taxonomic inflation with documented ...

Contrasting population genetic structures of freshwater eels (Anguilla marmorata, A. bicolor, A. mossambica) from Madagascar

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Freshwater eels (genus Anguilla) are of major biological and commercial interest due to their complex catadromous life cycle and as a high‐value fishery resource, but the biology of tropical species is still poorly understood. This study investigates the genetic integrity, diversity and population structure of three species of tropical eels ...

Climate‐driven niche filtering limits post‐dispersal establishment and genomic introgression in a riverine shrub

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrated biogeographic analysis and macroecological insights reveal that habitat differences drive genetic differentiation Debregeasia orientalis C. J. Chen, a dominant riparian shrub distributed across multiple biodiversity hotspots, and different lineages vary greatly in adaptability to future climate.
