Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Soil biodiversity knowledge and use worldwide: results from a global survey. [PDF]

Soil biodiversity is a major component of global biodiversity, but remains poorly characterized in many locations, and is under threat mainly due to land use change and intensification.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

A brief history of testate amoebae research and introducing the International Society for Testate Amoeba Research (ISTAR)

Acta Protozoologica
Research on testate amoebae goes back to the early 19th century, more precisely the year 1815 when Leclerc (or Le Clerc) described the genus Difflugia , which he presented as a “new type of amorphous ...

Stochastic Dominance, Entropy and Biodiversity Management [PDF]

In this paper we develop a model of population dynamics using the Shannon entropy index, a measure of diversity that allows for global and specific population shocks.

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.
