Rare long‐distance dispersal of a marine angiosperm across the Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018 AbstractAimLong‐distance dispersal (LDD) events occur rarely but play a fundamental role in shaping species biogeography. Lying at the heart of island biogeography theory, LDD relies on unusual events to facilitate colonization of new habitats and range expansion.

Hemispheric asymmetries in biodiversity: a serious matter for ecology [PDF]
, 2004 [FIRST PARAGRAPH] Penguins have been receiving a lot of bad press lately. They are considered somehow counter, spare, strange. Unlike most plant and animal groups, they do not show a peak of species richness towards the equator and a decline towards the ...

The Cell Wall of Seagrasses: Fascinating, Peculiar and a Blank Canvas for Future Research
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Seegrasses are a polyphyletic group of angiosperm plants, which evolved from early monocotyledonous land plants and returned to the marine environment around 140 million years ago.

Ecomorphological diversification of squamates in the Cretaceous [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Squamates (lizards and snakes) are highly successful modern vertebrates, with over 10 000 species. Squamates have a long history, dating back to at least 240 million years ago (Ma), and showing increasing species richness in the Late Cretaceous (84 Ma ...
