Are endemic species necessarily ecological specialists? Functional variability and niche differentiation of two threatened Dianthus species in the montane steppes of northeastern Iran. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Endemic species are believed to converge on narrow ranges of traits, with rarity reflecting adaptation to specific environmental regimes. We hypothesized that endemism is characterized by limited trait variability and environmental tolerances in two ...

Relative contributions of taxonomic and functional diversity to the assembly of plant communities hosting endemic Dianthus species in a mountain steppe [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPlant community assembly is the outcome of long-term evolutionary events (evident as taxonomic diversity; TD) and immediate adaptive fitness (functional diversity; FD); a balance expected to shift in favour of FD in ‘harsh’ habitats under intense ...

SOME MICROFOSSILS (DASYCLADALES, BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA, SPONGES) FROM THE UPPER JURASSIC MOZDURAN FORMATION (NE IRAN, KOPET-DAGH) AND THEIR BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC AND PALAEOBIOGEOGRAPHIC IMPORTANCE [PDF]
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2019 The Mozduran Formation represents mainly carbonatic shallow-water deposits from the Kopet-Dagh basin of northeast Iran. Longtime considered to be of exclusively Late Jurassic (Oxfordian-Kimmeridgian) age, its ranging into the Early Cretaceous has been ...
