- Abstract:
- ... AIM: Disentangling the relative importance of climatic and anthropogenic factors is crucial in conservation biology but problematic using short‐term data only. Long‐term (palaeobiological) data are thus increasingly being used to understand taxon history and to identify potential status and baseline (pre‐anthropogenic) conditions, which in turn allows the optimization of species conservation plans ...

- Abstract:
- ... AIM: Hainan Island, southern China, is characterized by rich diversity and endemism of marine organisms, yet the underpinning mechanisms and processes contributing to speciation and diversification are poorly understood. Here, the brown alga Sargassum polycystum is used as a model to identify putative marine glacial refugia and explore biogeographical patterns driven by climate change in the late ...

- Abstract:
- ... AIM: Kingfishers are the most species‐rich family in the avian order, Coraciiformes. Their modern distribution is largely pantropical; however, global species diversity is unevenly distributed. For example, 19 of the 114 kingfisher species occur in New Guinea, whereas only six species occur in the entire New World. This disparity in diversity suggests regions with high species richness could repre ...

AIM: Because the ecological similarity between species is expected to increase with relatedness and that speciation is a local process, phylogeny may provide a common measure for the influence of ecological and biogeographic processes on community assembly. We tested if similarities in floral visitation patterns within communities and the phylogenetic beta‐diversity among communities were related ...

AIM: We tested the effects of season and migratory status (residents‐versus‐seasonal migrants) on island biogeography of bird assemblages through partitioning beta diversity into richness and turnover components and community nestedness metrics. We predicted that total beta diversity, the richness component of beta diversity and community nestedness will be lower for bird assemblages in winter tha ...

AIM: We applied a diversity partitioning approach to identify the influence of multiple environmental factors on taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of estuarine fish assemblages at different spatial scales. Our aim was to determine (1) how variation in γ‐diversity (estuary scale) is supported by changes in α‐ (local scale) and β‐components (dissimilarity between these two scales) for ...

Currently, molluscivorous shorebirds are abundant on almost all shores of the world, except for those in the Indo‐West Pacific (IWP). Long before shorebirds arrived on the scene, molluscan prey in the IWP evolved strong anti‐predation traits in a prolonged evolutionary arms race with du ...

The resulting partition characterizes the main deep environmental biotopes and their vertical boundaries on a global scale, which can be used as a geographical and ecological framework for conservation biology, ecosyste ...

Brown bears and other large mammals are likely to have experienced analogous ecological pressures and phylogeographical processes. Here, we address several unresolved issues regarding the Late Pleistocene demography of brown bears: (1) the putative locations of refugia; (2) the direction ...
