Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving biodiversity in the Indo‐Malayan hotspots, with a particular focus on the roles of ancient hybridisation and historical climate in shaping species diversity. Location The Indo‐Malayan realm, particularly the Western Ghats‐Sri Lanka and Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspots.

Phylogeny, biogeography and diversification patterns of side-necked turtles (Testudines: Pleurodira) [PDF]
, 2018 Pleurodires or side-necked turtles are today restricted to freshwater environments of South America, Africa– Madagascar and Australia, but in the past they were distributed much more broadly, being found also on Eurasia, India and North America, and ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Southern Africa's remarkable environmental heterogeneity drives high biodiversity and endemism, yet biogeographical regionalisations often overlook invertebrates despite their ecological significance. This study presents a comprehensive regionalisation of southern Africa using tenebrionid beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), a diverse and ...

Myrteae phylogeny, calibration, biogeography and diversification patterns: increased understanding in the most species rich tribe of Myrtaceae [PDF]
, 2017 Myrteae (c. 2500 species; 51 genera) is the largest tribe of Myrtaceae and an ecologically important groups of angiosperms in the Neotropics. Systematic relationships in Myrteae are complex, hindering conservation initiatives and jeopardizing ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

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,

Vicariance or dispersal- trans-Tasman faunal relationships among Thysanoptcra (Insecta), with a second species of Lomatothrips from Podocarpus [PDF]
, 2006 Lomatothrips pinopsidis sp.n. (Insecta: Thysanoptera) is described as the second species of the genus. This species is widespread in Australia on Podocarpus and Callitris male cones, but the only other species in the genus is from New Zealand breeding in

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We present data and inferences supporting the case for post‐LGM secondary contact between eastern and western G. rufa populations that became isolated by post‐Pleistocene sea level rise of the Persian Gulf. We suggest river capture as a probable mechanism explaining secondary dispersal of Garra rufa populations from eastern to western river drainages ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study identifies the key drivers of anuran amphibian diversity (taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic) across South America's Cerrado, Amazonia, and Atlantic Rainforest. Although taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity consistently increased with long‐term climatic stability in all regions, functional diversity was primarily influenced by current ...
