Harnessing Genomic Information for Identifying the Geographic Origin of Five North American Tree Species in Trade

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Genomic tools for traceability of wood products offer a powerful tool to support sustainable forestry, fight illegal logging, and improve conservation efforts. Traditional identification methods (e.g., wood anatomy, spectroscopy) are limited in resolution or scope, but genomic approaches can infer both species identity and geographic origin ...

Climatic Niche Differentiation Accompanied the Radiation of Leaf‐Eared Mice in the Phyllotis darwini Species Group (Sigmodontinae, Cricetidae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To characterise the evolution of climatic niches during the diversification of the Phyllotis darwini species group, in order to assess the extent to which divergences involved in radiation were associated with patterns of conservatism or divergence of climatic niches, and whether the differentiation found among climatic niches correlated ...

Highlands, Islands and the Evolutionary Impact of Founder Event Dispersal in Sinomicrurus Coralsnakes

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Island archipelagos and montane regions of East and Southeast Asia represent some of the world's most biodiverse yet poorly understood biogeographic systems. Whether regional diversity accumulates primarily through in situ speciation, dispersal‐mediated range shifts, or some combination of these processes remains unclear.

Ibero‐Balearic plant disjunctions: genomic support for rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonizations of the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis (Brassicaceae) despite no dispersal syndromes

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1560-1572, August 2026.
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing data reveal six well‐defined clades in the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis, endemic to the western Mediterranean Basin and indicate rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonisations across the Balearic Islands and the eastern Iberian coast despite the absence of dispersal syndromes.

Cryptic diversity and multiple origins of the widespread mayfly species group Baetis rhodani (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) on northwestern Mediterranean islands

Ecology and Evolution, 2016
How the often highly endemic biodiversity of islands originated has been debated for decades, and it remains a fervid research ground. Here, using mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequence analyses, we investigate the diversity, phylogenetic relationships,

Elevation‐Driven Morphological Variation in Dianthus virgineus L. s.l. in the Southern Apennine: A Functional Perspective

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our study on Dianthus virgineus uses morphology, functional traits, and fluctuating asymmetry to explore elevational phenotypic variation. We found continuous, environmentally‐driven variation, suggesting local adaptation over distinct species. This work offers a framework to help in the interpretation of polymorphic plant complexes and prevent ...

Sympatric Speciation of Tibetan Loaches (Triplophysa) Driven by Dietary Niche Specialization

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The sympatric speciation of Tibetan loaches in a semi‐enclosed postglacial lake on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, which is driven by the synergistic mechanism of the gut microbiomes and dietary specialization. ABSTRACT The Qinghai‐Tibeta Plateau is a hotspot for endemic fish biodiversity.

RECASTING VICARIOUS LIABILITY [PDF]

The Cambridge Law Journal, 2012
Reviews case law broadening the scope of vicarious liability to discuss its possible application to the voluntary sector. Assesses the rationale for a contract of service to exist for a party to be held vicariously liable for another's torts. Provides a scheme to accommodate all existing forms of vicarious liability.

First Assessment of Genetic Diversity, Phylogeographic Relationships, and Population Structure of the Brown Seaweed Ericaria amentacea From Italian Coasts Using Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I (COI) Gene

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
First assessment of genetic diversity, phylogeographic relationships, and population structure of the brown seaweed Ericaria amentacea from Italian. ABSTRACT Ericaria amentacea is an endemic key seaweed species in the coastal ecosystem of the Mediterranean basin. Given its ecological role and sensitivity to environmental conditions decline, it has been

Aquatic Biodiversity in the Amazon: Habitat Specialization and Geographic Isolation Promote Species Richness

Animals, 2011
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 ...
