Stable isotopes of Hawaiian spiders reflect substrate properties along a chronosequence. [PDF]
, 2018 The Hawaiian Islands offer a unique opportunity to test how changes in the properties of an isolated ecosystem are propagated through the organisms that occur within that ecosystem.

Re-evaluating the general dynamic theory of oceanic island biogeography
Frontiers of Biogeography, 2013 The general dynamic model of oceanic island biogeography integrates temporal changes in ecological circumstances with diversification processes, and has stimulated current research in island biogeography.

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Historical biogeography faces a persistent conceptual and methodological dilemma concerning the nature of its central analytical units. Using the recent proposal by Schultz and Cracraft (Cladistics 40, 653) as a catalyst, this article critiques the argument that causal inference necessitates the replacement of areas of endemism with barriers ...

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

Geographic body size variation in ectotherms: effects of seasonality on an anuran from the southern temperate forest [PDF]
, 2015 Indexación: Web of Science; Scopus.Background: Body size variation has played a central role in biogeographical research, however, most studies have aimed to describe trends rather than search for underlying mechanisms.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Taxonomic assessment of two pygopodoid gecko subspecies from Western Australia [PDF]
, 2020 Subspecies designations for herpetofauna in Western Australia were largely coined in the 20th century where rigorous evolutionary concepts to species were not consistently applied.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 502-516, June 2026.First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.
