Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6130-6146, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Soils harbour a rich arthropod fauna, but many species are still not formally described (Linnaean shortfall) and the distribution of those already described is poorly understood (Wallacean shortfall). Metabarcoding holds much promise to fill this gap, however, nuclear copies of mitochondrial genes, and other artefacts lead to taxonomic ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 13, Page 3778-3792, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Since Darwin put forward his opposing hypotheses to explain the successful establishment of species in areas outside their native ranges, the preadaptation and competition‐relatedness hypotheses, known as Darwin's naturalization conundrum, numerous studies have sought to understand the relative importance of each.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 15, Page 4078-4094, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Most of our understanding of island diversity comes from the study of aboveground systems, while the patterns and processes of diversification and community assembly for belowground biotas remain poorly understood. Here, we take advantage of a relatively young and dynamic oceanic island to advance our understanding of ecoevolutionary processes

Hidden island endemic species and their implications for cryptic speciation within soil arthropods
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 1367-1380, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Specialisation to the soil environment is expected to constrain the spatial scale of diversification within animal lineages. In this context, flightless arthropod lineages, adapted to soil environments, but with broad geographical ranges, represent something of an anomaly.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim To gain detailed insights into how vertebrate intraspecific diversity can be generated and maintained within volcanic islands, using genomic data. Location The Canary Islands of Tenerife and La Palma. Time Period Tissue samples were obtained in 2003. Genomic analyses were performed in 2023–25. Taxon The endemic gecko, Tarentola delalandii.

Do Island Spiders Descend From Trees? – A Tale of Island Colonisation and Niche Expansion
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands are known for being home to drastically different communities compared to the mainland, as their isolation and limited area significantly favour clades able to travel long distances over water. On spiders, this happens mainly, although not exclusively, through ballooning whose propensity is unevenly distributed across ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Globally, arthropod biodiversity is under threat, with increased risk of species‐level extinctions, and this threat is particularly acute on oceanic islands. A fundamental first step towards understanding extinction risk is to understand genetic connectivity among the constituent populations of a species.

In defence of the entity of Macaronesia as a biogeographical region
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2060-2081, December 2024.ABSTRACT Since its coinage ca. 1850 AD by Philip Barker Webb, the biogeographical region of Macaronesia, consisting of the North Atlantic volcanic archipelagos of the Azores, Madeira with the tiny Selvagens, the Canaries and Cabo Verde, and for some authors different continental coastal strips, has been under dispute. Herein, after a brief introduction
