Comprehensive species set revealing the phylogeny and biogeography of Feliformia (Mammalia, Carnivora) based on mitochondrial DNA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Extant Feliformia species are one of the most diverse radiations of Carnivora (~123 species). Despite substantial recent interest in their conservation, diversification, and systematic study, no previous phylogeny contains a comprehensive species set ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across three major mountain regions: the Rockies, the Alps, and the Pan‐Himalaya ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The Southeastern European Mountain System (SEEMS) is a well‐known glacial refugium for European fauna. Bridging the Mediterranean and Caucasus biodiversity hotspots, it is a melting point for diverse faunal elements, but also a center of origin and subsequent dispersal of a unique component of European biodiversity.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Eigenmannia is a monophyletic genus of small and medium‐sized fishes known as ‘glass knifefishes’, with a wide distribution throughout the Neotropical region and a complex taxonomic history. This study aimed to investigate the phylogenetic diversification patterns within the Eigenmannia humboldtii species group (specifically E. nigra and E.
