Sympathy in Hume's social epistemology
Abstract According to the reductionist interpretation of Hume on testimony, we come to believe what others tell us for the same kind of reason as we come to believe that the sun will rise tomorrow—both beliefs grounded in our experience of the respective regularities of testifiers and planetary motion.

ABSTRACT The Atlantic Forest domain is a biodiversity hotspot with remarkable amphibian diversity, including over 700 species, 70% of which are endemic. Most of these endemic species have restricted geographic ranges, often confined to mountainous areas, as exemplified by the leptodactylid genus Crossodactylodes.

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination
ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Mountain colonization precedes shifts away from bee pollination in Melastomataceae
Summary Shifts among different groups of pollinators are central in the evolution of flowering plants, yet mechanisms underlying pollinator shifts remain unclear. Environment‐induced reduction in pollinator availability and hence efficiency may destabilize ancestral plant–pollinator interactions and trigger shifts to new, more efficient pollinators ...
