How Does the Phasianidae Maintain Its Diversity in Central China? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of allopatric speciation suggests that spatial separation is the major driver to speciation. The ecological niche theory suggests that differentiations in niche dimensions allow more species to co‐exist in ecological communities.

Prediction of Suitable Habitats for <i>Bisetocreagris</i> (Pseudoscorpiones: Neobisiidae) in China and Its Application in Conserving Endemic Species Diversity. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using the MaxEnt model with 44 distribution points and seven key environmental variables, this study analyzed the potential habitats of the endemic species Bisetocreagris under three greenhouse gas emission scenarios, identified precipitation of the driest month (Bio14), mean temperature of the warmest quarter (Bio10), mean diurnal range (Bio2), and ...

Genetic Population Structure of the Italian Wall Lizards <i>Podarcis siculus</i> (Squamata: Lacertidae): Insight From Nuclear DNA Markers. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Microsatellite analysis of 294 Podarcis siculus specimens from 121 localities revealed eight genetic clusters that partially align with previously identified mtDNA lineages. However, notable mito‐nuclear discordance was observe, particularly in Southern Italy and Sicily, where microsatellite data indicated different contact zones and less genetic ...

Estimating the 15th-Century Potential Habitats of Endangered Mammals on the Korean Peninsula: Implications for Restoration. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We estimated the 15th‐century potential habitats of endangered mammals at the genus level on the Korean Peninsula with a historical document: big cats (Panthera spp.), including tigers and leopards, foxes (Vulpes spp.), bears (Ursus spp.), and gorals (Naemorhedus spp.).

Global Patterns of Niche Changes in Alien Mammals: Potential Drivers and Significance for Invasion Projections. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Alien mammals largely retain their realized native climatic niche, yet often show incomplete colonization of receiving zoogeographic regions. Across 337 species‐by‐realm niche comparisons, niche expansion is generally low and concentrated in a few zoogeographic realms, whereas niche unfilling is widespread, indicating large pools of suitable yet ...

Geography of Life Histories in a Tropical Fauna: The Case of Indian Butterflies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The current study examines the butterfly species composition across India's 36 states and territories by utilising an updated checklist and ordination analyses. It incorporates life history traits to provide a deeper ecological understanding. Although India's butterfly fauna has been extensively researched, analyses based on trait composition are a ...

Genetic diversity of the Pegu Rice Frog, Microhyla berdmorei (Anura: Microhylidae) based on mitochondrial DNA

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The Pegu Rice Frog, Microhyla berdmorei is distributed across ten Asian countries. However, the DNA barcoding information (COI gene) is restricted to only Southeast Asian countries. Here, we sampled a specimen of M.

Urgent Conservation Actions Are Needed for Qinling Lenok <i>Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis</i> Li, 1966: Enlightenment From Model Simulations. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
ABSTRACT The Qinling lenok Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis Li, 1966, an endemic to China and South Korea, is a rare protected species. Its unique requirements to habitat have made this fish extraordinarily fragile when faced with human pressures and global warming.

Zoogeografia marinha do Brasil: I. Considerações gerais sobre o método e aplicação a um grupo de crustáceos (Paguros: Crustácea Decápoda, super-famílias Paguroidea e Coenobitoidea)

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 1980
The present paper is the first of a series dealing with marine zoogeography of Brazil. The Brazilian marine fauna has been well worked only recently, and the contributions on the zoogeography of various groups are in dependence of conclusions of ...
