Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Morphometric analysis of Littoraria angulifera (Caenogastropoda) in estuarine regions of northeastern Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2019 The gastropod Littoraria angulifera (Littorinidae) is an exclusively estuarine mollusk with Neotropical anfiatlantic distribution. Recent studies indicate a possible use of the species as bioindicator.

Ecography, EarlyView.The Amazon River plume (ARP) functions as a dynamic and porous biogeographic barrier whose permeability to larval dispersal depends on the interplay between species' biological traits and oceanographic processes. Using biophysical modeling combined with a dual analytical framework, namely a multivariate regression tree (MRT) and a generalized additive ...

Taxonomic diversity dynamics of early cretaceous brachiopods and gastropods in the Azerbaijanian domains of the Lesser Caucasus (Neo-Tethys Ocean) [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2014 Palaeontological data available from the Azerbaijanian domains (Somkhit-Agdam, Sevan-Karabakh, and Miskhan-Kafan tectonic zones) of the Lesser Caucasus permit reconstruction of the regional taxonomic diversity dynamics of two groups of Early ...

Warming modifies trophic impacts of invading shrimp with impact varying among primary producers
Oikos, EarlyView.Environmental change drivers, such as climate change and species invasions, can disrupt biological networks and weaken ecosystem stability. Acting together, these drivers may interact and alter the effects on the ecosystem. However, few studies have examined the interactive effects of climate change and species invasions, particularly in aquatic ...
