AbstractThe biogeography of speciation and what can be learned about the past mode of speciation from current biogeography of sister species are recurrent problems in evolution. We used a trait- and ...

In some ways, islands provide a ready-made laboratory for studying evolution. Thanks to their isolation from each other and the mainland, islands offer an ideal venue for speciation, with Darwin's ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers is advocating for convergent research that integrates the fields of biogeography and behavioral ecology to more rapidly respond to challenges associated with ...

Because most macroecological and biodiversity data are spatially autocorrelated, special tools for describing spatial structures and dealing with hypothesis testing are usually required. Unfortunately ...

New research suggests conservation efforts could more effectively identify and protect bird species at greatest risk from climate change by better understanding the range of specific conditions they ...

A study by University of Liverpool researchers reveals that the species hardest to detect—those rarely seen, recorded, or included in scientific monitoring—are also the most vulnerable to human-driven ...

At a presentation last week, two speakers described their travels. The first presenter described her hike across the French and Swiss Alps. Her photos were beautiful, and the flora and fauna were ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Oklahoma has published a perspective article in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences advocating for convergent ...
