The colonization history of Juniperus brevifolia (Cupressaceae) in the Azores Islands. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
A central aim of island biogeography is to understand the colonization history of insular species using current distributions, fossil records and genetic diversity.

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

Biogeographic Drivers of Evolutionary Radiations

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Some lineages radiate spectacularly when colonizing a region, but others do not. Large radiations are often attributed to species’ adaptation into niches, or to other drivers, such as biogeography including dispersal ability and spatial structure of the ...

Towards a genetic theory of island biogeography: Inferring processes from multidimensional community-scale data

, 2023
Background: MacArthur and Wilson's theory of island biogeography has been a foundation for obtaining testable predictions from models of community assembly and for developing models that integrate across scales and disciplines.

Plant adaptive strategies respond to environmental change across European grassland habitats

Ecography, EarlyView.
Grassland ecosystems are facing rapid and ongoing change driven by intensified land‐use and accelerated climate change, highlighting the urgent need to understand their potential adaptation and response to environmental change. We analyzed data from 52 980 vegetation plots spanning all major grassland habitats in Europe (including alpine, rocky, sandy,

Functional diversity and ecological patterns of reef fish assemblages across depth gradients in oceanic islands of the Brazilian Province

Neotropical Ichthyology
Environmental gradients and geography are key drivers of biodiversity and community assembly in reef ecosystems. To investigate how biogeography and depth gradients shape reef fish assemblages, we analysed two Southwestern Atlantic oceanic archipelagos ...
