The Key Role of Vicariance for Soil Animal Biogeography in a Biodiversity Hotspot Region
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Aim The Indo‐Australian Archipelago is known as a biodiversity hotspot with high levels of endemism typically ascribed to vicariance as reflected by the ‘Wallace's line’. However, it is unknown how vicariance has affected belowground biodiversity, especially process‐based beta diversity.

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 3, May/June 2025.ABSTRACT Questions Inselbergs, isolated rock outcrops, support unique plant communities. Maritime inselbergs (MIs) experience transient isolation due to maritime fluctuations, creating harsh survival conditions. This study is the first to investigate the plant communities' patterns on MIs, comparing them with those on continental inselbergs (CIs).

Geodiversity, Geoheritage and Geoconservation for Society
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 Geology is part of the planet's “natural capital”, the stock of global natural assets. These assets provide many benefits for society, often referred to as “ecosystem services”. However, traditionally these have mainly focused on biotic services and have undervalued the abiotic ones. The latter are known here as “geosystem services” and they all derive

Geodiversity Research Methods in Geotourism [PDF]
Geosciences, 2018 With the emerging new approaches in the field of geodiversity, we can get better use of geographic space in geoparks and increase the number of geotourism destinations. Depending on what we want to study in geodiversity, a suitable research method should be adopted. No method is wrong, because various features of objects be examined this manner.

Shifting baselines and the forgotten giants: integrating megafauna into plant community ecology
Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.The extensive, prehistoric loss of megafauna during the last 50 000 years led early naturalists to build the founding theories of ecology based on already‐degraded ecosystems. In this article, we outline how large herbivores affect community ecology, with a special focus on plants, through changes to selection, speciation, drift, and dispersal, thereby
