Using nrITS, plastome, and single‐copy SNP data, we resolved the phylogeny of the Calanthe alliance, which originated in the late Oligocene. Its diversification process followed a two‐step pattern: first the warmest Cenozoic interval and Himalayan uplift drove the formation of three major lineages, then sustained Miocene cooling shaped further ...

Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

The Neotropical freshwater ichthyofauna has among the highest species richness and density of any vertebrate fauna on Earth, with more than 5,600 species compressed into less than 12% of the world’s land surface area, and less than 0.002% of the world’s ...

Evolution and loss of long-fringed petals [PDF]
Background: The Cucurbitaceae genus Trichosanthes comprises 90–100 species that occur from India to Japan and southeast to Australia and Fiji. Most species have large white or pale yellow petals with conspicuously fringed margins, the fringes sometimes ...

ABSTRACT The large estimates of mesopelagic fish biomass have long fuelled harvesting interests in the relatively untouched twilight zone of the ocean. The silvery lightfish—one of the most abundant species inhabiting the North Atlantic mesopelagic layer—is a candidate for such a fishery despite its enormous ecological importance and the insufficient ...

A summary of the endemic beetle genera of the West Indies (Insecta: Coleoptera); bioindicators of the evolutionary richness of this Neotropical archipelago [PDF]
The Caribbean Islands (or the West Indies) are recognized as one of the leading global biodiversity hot spots. This is based on data on species, genus, and family diversity for vascular plants and non-marine vertebrates.

ABSTRACT Aim Biogeographical regionalisation is an evolutionary system of nested areas representing the geographic organisation of life on the planet, which is fundamental for understanding basic and applied aspects related to the ecology, evolution and conservation of biotas and their habitats.

Ancestral Biogeography Reveals Diverse Origins of Costa Rica Margin Seep Invertebrates
ABSTRACT Aim This work addressed the hypotheses that invertebrate species from hydrocarbon seeps at the Pacific Costa Rica Margin (CRM) would descend from adjacent biogeographic provinces, and that common ancestral histories would be identified across invertebrate groups.
