Evaluating expert-based habitat suitability information of terrestrial mammals with GPS-tracking data. [PDF]

Glob Ecol Biogeogr, 2022
Abstract Aim Macroecological studies that require habitat suitability data for many species often derive this information from expert opinion. However, expert‐based information is inherently subjective and thus prone to errors. The increasing availability of GPS tracking data offers opportunities to evaluate and supplement expert‐based information with

Unlocking Tropical Forest Complexity: How Tree Assemblages in Secondary Forests Boost Biodiversity Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Secondary forests are crucial for achieving COP15/16 conservation goals. An operational national approach was developed to identify and characterise forest ecosystems based on the dominant tree species in the canopy, serving as indicators for ecosystem extent and condition.

A test of the green wave hypothesis in omnivorous brown bears across North America

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Herbivorous animals tend to seek out plants at intermediate phenological states to improve energy intake while minimizing consumption of fibrous material. In some ecosystems, the timing of green‐up is heterogeneous and propagates across space in a wave‐like pattern, known as the green wave.

Low‐coverage whole genome sequencing for highly accurate population assignment: Mapping migratory connectivity in the American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 20, Page 5528-5540, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Understanding the geographic linkages among populations across the annual cycle is an essential component for understanding the ecology and evolution of migratory species and for facilitating their effective conservation. While genetic markers have been widely applied to describe migratory connections, the rapid development of new sequencing ...

Linaria sagrensis (Plantaginaceae), a new high mountain species from the SE Iberian Peninsula

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2023, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Linaria sagrensis, from the south‐eastern Iberian Peninsula, is here newly described, illustrated, and compared with its morphologically closest relatives from L. sect. Supinae: L. pruinosa, L. nevadensis, L. glacialis and L. alpina subsp. alpina. The species is characterized by being perennial, entirely glandular‐hairy, with inflorescence dense and ...

One generalist or several specialists? Comparative analysis of the polyphagous butterfly Adelpha serpa celerio and its serpa‐group relatives

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 475-493, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Patterns of larval food plant use and immature stage morphology help clarify Neotropical butterfly species diversity, and, in many cases, lineages identified with molecular data are corroborated by morphology and ecology of immature stages. Here, we investigate cryptic species in Adelpha butterflies (Nymphalidae), a group known for challenging

Reassessment of generic boundaries in Neotropical Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae): Eleven reinstated genera and narrowed circumscriptions of Chrysophyllum and Pouteria

TAXON, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 307-359, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Classifications of the pantropical plant family Sapotaceae based solely on morphology have historically recognized between 125 and 53 genera. Phylogenetic analyses using molecular data have repeatedly demonstrated that broad concepts of two large genera belonging to subfamily Chrysophylloideae, Chrysophyllum and Pouteria, are untenable and ...

The Changing Amazon Hydrological Cycle—Inferences From Over 200 Years of Tree‐Ring Oxygen Isotope Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 127, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Changes to the Amazon hydrological cycle have important consequences for world's largest tropical forest, and the biodiversity it contains. However, a scarcity of long‐term climate data in the region makes it hard to contextualize recent observed changes in Amazon hydrology.

Pumas Puma concolor as ecological brokers: a review of their biotic relationships

Mammal Review, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 360-376, July 2022., 2022
Pumas Puma concolor are the widest ranging mammal of the Western Hemisphere and one of the world’s largest carnivores. In this review, we aimed to synthesise the evidence on ecological interactions associated with pumas to advance our understanding of their biotic roles in ecosystems across the Americas.
