Drivers of Centipede and Spider Diversity and Biomass Along an Elevation Gradient on Changbai Mountain, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Changes in density, diversity, and biomass with elevation differ between centipedes and spiders. Compared to centipedes, spiders are more strongly affected by environmental changes. Climatic variables act as the main drivers of centipede and spider density, diversity, and biomass, with local habitat–related factors being of secondary importance ...

Mountain passes are higher at low latitudes for madicolous insect communities of the Neotropical region

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 9, Page 1118-1128, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim To test whether spatial turnover patterns of mountain madicolous insect communities in the Southern Hemisphere support the ‘mountain passes are higher in the Tropic’ hypothesis (MPHT). To do this, we compared madicolous communities in the Amazon Mountains (equator) and the Atlantic Forest Mountains (23°S). Location Brazil.

wallace 2: a shiny app for modeling species niches and distributions redesigned to facilitate expansion via module contributions

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Released 4 years ago, the Wallace EcoMod application (R package wallace) provided an open‐source and interactive platform for modeling species niches and distributions that served as a reproducible toolbox and educational resource. wallace harnesses R package tools documented in the literature and makes them available via a graphical user interface ...

changeRangeR: An R package for reproducible biodiversity change metrics from species distribution estimates

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Conservation planning and decision‐making rely on evaluations of biodiversity status and threats that are based upon species' distribution estimates. However, gaps exist regarding automated tools to delineate species' current ranges from distribution estimates and use those estimates to calculate both species‐ and community‐level biodiversity ...

Effects of forest fragmentation on the weight of understory birds at the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project in Amazonia

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 852-859, July 2022., 2022
Deforestation and habitat fragmentation are known as the chief drivers of biodiversity loss. Habitat fragmentation in the Brazilian Amazon was found to affect the weight of birds that remained in isolated areas. Our results provide a novel analysis into how avian body mass responds to habitat fragmentation.

Character evolution and biogeography of Casearia (Salicaceae): Evidence for the South American origin of a pantropical genus and for multiple migrations to the Caribbean islands

TAXON, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 321-347, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Casearia (Salicaceae) is a pantropical genus of circa 200 species, around half of which dwell in the Neotropics. Despite the availability of phylogenetic studies that suggest that Casearia sensu Sleumer is not monophyletic, a strong phylogenetic framework was still lacking for this genus.

Podocarpus in the palaeogeographically complex island of Hispaniola: A stepping‐stone colonization and conservation recommendations

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 214-226, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Hispaniola is the second largest island in the Caribbean and a hot spot of biodiversity. The island was formed by the fusion of a northern and southern palaeo‐islands during the mid‐Miocene (15 Ma). The historical split of Hispaniola together with repeated marine incursions during the Pleistocene is known to have influenced lineage ...

Temporal stability in species richness but reordering in species abundances within avian assemblages of a tropical Andes conservation hot spot

Biotropica, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1673-1684, November 2021., 2021
We evaluated the temporal variation in species richness and community composition of local bird assemblages over 11 years in Cajas National Park and Mazán Reserve in the Southern Andes of Ecuador. Species richness remained stabled over time, but we observed taxonomic reordering in the undisturbed native forest, in which the evenness in the distribution

A comprehensive phylogenomic study of the monocot order Commelinales, with a new classification of Commelinaceae

American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 7, Page 1066-1086, July 2021., 2021
Premise Resolving relationships within order Commelinales has posed quite a challenge, as reflected in its unstable infra‐familial classification. Thus, we investigated (1) relationships across families and genera of Commelinales; (2) phylogenetic placement of never‐before sequenced genera; (3) how well off‐target plastid data integrate with other ...
