An inverse latitudinal gradient in intraspecific genetic diversity of a dominant ant in the neotropical savanna

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Although latitudinal gradient of diversity (LGD) is a biogeographic pattern widely shown for distinct animal groups, some display the opposite pattern, with biodiversity peaking away from the equator. These inverse gradients may result from drivers that also overlap with extrinsic factors shaping genetic diversity across taxa, a level of ...

Phylogeny of subtribe Gonolobinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae) based on molecular and morphological data with a revised generic classification

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The presently most densely sampled molecular phylogeny of the widespread New World subtribe Gonolobinae is presented, including about 35% of the ca. 520 species. Sampling focused on an even representation of the three main areas of total Gonolobinae distribution, South America, Central/North America, and the West Indian Islands, and the ...

A novel circumscription and classification for Neurolaeneae (Asteraceae)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Neurolaeneae (Asteraceae) have a complicated taxonomic history. The tribe was described in 1927, but subsequently disregarded in 1977, and later reinstated as a tribe following a large‐scale phylogenetic analysis of Asteraceae in 2002. To date, this tribe has remained poorly studied and it has never been the subject of a comprehensive ...

Beyond the Highlands: Climate Drives Evolutionary Connections Between Ancient Neotropical Mountains and Lowland Biomes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The assembly of montane plant communities through time is underlain by historical and abiotic factors. However, the extent of evolutionary connectivity between ancient highland ecosystems and surrounding lowlands remains unclear. Here, we investigate the evolutionary connections between the campos rupestres, a hyperdiverse and fragmented ...
