ABSTRACT Aims Species redistributions and ecological shifts are increasingly evident in Arctic ecosystems, but few studies have examined benthic invertebrate communities using biogeographic and functional frameworks. This study examines the distribution of Arctic, Boreal, and Cosmopolitan infaunal species across a latitudinal gradient on the West ...

Biogeography of the Greater Antillean mosses [PDF]
The distinctions between dispersal and vicariance are discussed and shown how they relate to geological history. Postulated theories on the tectonic origins and history of the Greater Antilles are reviewed, as well as possible climatic events that would ...

Origin and diversification of Lake Ohrids endemic acroloxid limpets: the role of geography and ecology [PDF]
Background: Ancient Lake Ohrid, located on the Albania-Macedonia border, is the most biodiverse freshwater lake in Europe. However, the processes that gave rise to its extraordinary endemic biodiversity, particularly in the species-rich gastropods, are ...

Sipuncula of the Magellan area compared with adjacent regions of Antarctica
The Magellan sipunculan fauna includes 4 families, 7 genera and 16 species. A comparison between this fauna and that from adjacent regions of Antarctica has been made. A total of 8 species and 3 genera are shared by the compared areas.

ABSTRACT ‘Glass’ squids (family Cranchiidae Prosch, 1849) are diverse and widely distributed, but many cranchiid genera are in need of global taxonomic revision. Although two species of Taonius are generally recognised from the Pacific Ocean (T. belone and T.

The diel niche of brown bears: constraints on adaptive capacity in human‐modified landscapes
Diel activity rhythms, representing the behavioral pattern of the sleep–wake cycle, may be adjusted by wildlife in response to changes in environmental conditions. An increase in nocturnality is typically recognized as an adaptive strategy to segregate from humans and mitigate heat stress. Numerous studies have investigated spatial patterns and habitat

Recent and Rapid Assembly of an Island Species–Area Relationship Threatened by Human Disturbance
The island species–area relationship (ISAR), traditionally studied in millions of years old oceanic archipelagos, remains poorly understood in much younger insular systems. Using fish communities from 79 postglacial peri‐Alpine lakes, we show that classical ISAR patterns can emerge rapidly, contrary to expectations given their young age (< 15,000 years)
