Quantifying leaf trait covariation and its controls across climates and biomes [PDF]

, 2018
Plant functional ecology requires the quantification of trait variation and its controls. Field measurements on 483 species at 48 sites across China were used to analyse variation in leaf traits, and assess their predictability.

Influence of forest cover and sex on wing size and shape of a spider‐hunting wasp in the Brazilian Atlantic forest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 165-176, February 2026.
Forest cover significantly influences the wing shape of female Trypoxylon lactitarse. Females exhibit longer and narrower wings, linked to greater flight efficiency and dispersal. Sexual dimorphism indicates that females respond differently to ecological pressures, underscoring the role of forest cover in species persistence.

Life‐History Strategies Drive Plant Species Richness Patterns in the Atlantic Forest Hotspot

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The underlying processes driving the origin and spatial variation of species richness stand as one of the most fundamental and enigmatic questions in ecology. Here, we assess the roles of water stress, energy availability, climatic seasonality, physiological tolerance to cold extremes, historical climate stability, and topographic ...

Forest Cover and Geographic Distance Shape Ant Assemblages in the Southwestern Brazilian Amazon

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We investigated how forest cover, precipitation, and spatial distance influence ant species richness and composition in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon. We found that forest cover increases species richness, especially of forest specialists, while spatial distance is the main driver of variation in species composition.

The Large Carpenter Bees (Xylocopa, Apidae) of the Neotropical Region: Phylogenetics, Classification and Biogeography

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 884-896, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The large carpenter bees of the genus Xylocopa comprise almost 400 species distributed worldwide. Their large body and ability to build nests through woodworking make them one of the most remarkable groups of bees. In the Neotropics, they comprise over 100 species occurring in tropical and subtropical environments including islands in the ...
