Spatial versus spatio-temporal approaches for studying metacommunities: a multi-taxon analysis in Mediterranean and tropical temporary ponds

Author(s): Gálvez Á; Peres-Neto PR; Castillo-Escrivà A; Bonilla F; Camacho A; García-Roger EM; Iepure S; Miralles J; Monrós JS; Olmo C; Picazo A; Rojo C; Rueda J; Sasa M; Segura M; Armengol X; Mesquita-Joanes F;

Prior research on metacommunities has largely focused on snapshot surveys, often overlooking temporal dynamics. In this study, our aim was to compare the insights obtained from metacommunity analyses based on a spatial approach repeated over time, with a spatio-temporal approach that consolidates ...

The evolution of plasticity at geographic range edges

Author(s): Usui T; Lerner D; Eckert I; Angert AL; Garroway CJ; Hargreaves A; Lancaster LT; Lessard JP; Riva F; Schmidt C; van der Burg K; Marshall KE;

Phenotypic plasticity enables rapid responses to environmental change, and could facilitate range shifts in response to climate change. What drives the evolution of plasticity at range edges, and the capacity of range-edge individuals to be plastic, remain unclear. Here, we propose that accuratel ...

Identifying climate change refugia for South American biodiversity

Author(s): Sales LP; Pires MM;

Refugia-based conservation strategies offer long-term effectiveness and minimize uncertainty on strategies for climate change adaptation. Here, we use distribution modelling to identify climate change refugia for 617 terrestrial mammals and quantify the role of protected areas in safeguarding these zones across South America. Moist tropical forests locate ...

Population demography maintains biogeographic boundaries

Author(s): Schmidt C; Muñoz G; Lancaster LT; Lessard JP; Marske KA; Marshall KE; Garroway CJ;

Global biodiversity is organised into biogeographic regions that comprise distinct biotas. The contemporary factors maintaining differences in species composition between regions are poorly understood. Given evidence that populations with sufficient genetic variation can adapt to fill new habitats, it is surprising that more homogenisation of species asse ...

Phylogeography of the Korean endemic Coreoleuciscus (Cypriniformes: Gobionidae): the genetic evidence of colonization through Eurasian continent to the Korean Peninsula during Late Plio-Pleistocene

Author(s): Jeon HB; Song HY; Suk HY; Bang IC;

Background: Freshwater endemism is thought to have been formed through the vicariance of connected water systems or the process by which ancestral populations colonized specific areas. The Korean Peninsula is well recognized for its high level of freshwater endemism with about 40% of freshwater fish species being endemic. Objective: In this study, we att ...
