Quaternary geomorphological and climatic changes associated with the diversification of Iberian freshwater fishes: The case of the genus Cobitis (Cypriniformes, Cobitidae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We study the population genetics of Cobitis vettonica to propose an area‐specific biogeographic model of the species’ responses to the multiple changes that occurred in the Iberian hydrological system during the Quaternary. We also decipher the relationship of C. vettonica with its sister species C.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Reduction in population size, with its predicted effects on population fitness, is the most alarming anthropogenic impact on endangered species. By introducing compatible individuals, genetic rescue (GR) is a promising but debated approach for reducing the genetic load unmasked by inbreeding and for restoring the fitness of declining ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Tropical montane bird communities are hypothesized to be highly sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance because species are adapted to a narrow range of environmental conditions and display high rates of endemism. We assessed avian sensitivity at regional and continental scales for a global epicenter of montane bird biodiversity, the tropical ...

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1183-1194, November 2023., 2023 Plants are often overlooked in conservation planning. In Mozambique, we find that the richest areas for rare and threatened plant species are poorly represented within the protected area network. We use Important Plant Areas and the Weighted Endemism including Global Endangerment (WEGE) index to identify opportunities to better conserve Mozambique's ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 10, Page 1049-1060, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Scutellastra mexicana is the largest patellid in the world, with records of up to 35.5 cm in length, and is one of the most endangered marine invertebrates from tropical Pacific rocky shores. The decline of this species occurred during the 20th century, when fishing cooperatives reported the capture of millions of specimens in less than 2 ...

El endemismo en las Liliopsida mexicanas
Acta Botanica Mexicana, 2022 Se presenta un listado actualizado de las Liliopsida endémicas de México. De las 4,542 especies silvestres que habitan en el territorio nacional, 2,010 son endémicas exclusivas y la cifra asciende a 2,764 si consideramos la ampliación de los límites a lo que Rzedowski denomina Megaméxico 3.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 10, Page 1763-1777, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Evolutionary studies of oceanic island endemics are usually focused on lineages that have experienced in situ radiation, while those that speciated once on the island or archipelago but have not further diversified (single‐species endemics) remain understudied.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 1614-1628, August 2023., 2023 High compositional turnover, even across habitats with the highest degree of human intervention, suggests that both forest‐dwelling and open‐habitat species do not easily disperse across habitats. Species dispersal is the major force of orchid community turnover and might be strongly dependent upon macroevolutionary processes and species life‐history ...

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Chile's isolation and varied climates have driven the evolution of a unique biodiversity with a high degree of endemism. As a result, Chile encompasses diverse environments, including the Mediterranean‐type ecosystem, a global biodiversity hotspot.
