Abstract Aim: Disentangling the effects of climate and historical factors on biodiversity distribution remains a challenge for biogeographers. Here, we … Continue reading >Climate effects on amphibian distributions depend on phylogenetic resolution and the biogeographical history of taxa

  Abstract Based on literature review and malacological collections, 168 native freshwater bivalve and five invasive species have been recorded … Continue reading >Bivalve distribution in hydrographic regions in South America: historical overview and conservation

Abstract The rapid global decline of amphibian population is alarming because many occur for apparently unknown or enigmatic reasons, even … Continue reading >Clade-specific consequences of climate change to amphibians in Atlantic Forest protected areas

Abstract Questions: Functional redundancy in assemblages may insure ecosystem processes after perturbation potentially causing temporary or permanent local species extinctions. … Continue reading >Functional redundancy and stability in plant communities

Abstract Background: We evaluated the direct and indirect influence of climate, land use, phylogenetic structure, species richness and endemism on … Continue reading >Land Use Explains the Distribution of Threatened New World Amphibians Better than Climate

Abstract Understanding how species traits evolved over time is the central question to comprehend assembly rules that govern the phylogenetic … Continue reading >Discriminating the effects of phylogenetic hypothesis, tree resolution and clade age estimates on phylogenetic signal measurements

Abstract The present study assessed the variation in bird species composition, and in the proportion of frugivorous and migratory individuals … Continue reading >The Potential Role of Migratory Birds in the Expansion of Araucaria Forest

Abstract Evidence of phylogenetic conservatism in plant ecological traits has accumulated over the past few years, suggesting an interplay between … Continue reading >Assessing spatial and environmental drivers of phylogenetic structure in Brazilian Araucaria forests

Abstract We aimed to verify if frugivory in Tyrannidae birds (tyrants flycatchers) is influenced by environmental conditions, spatial filters, phylogenetic … Continue reading >Spatial and phylogenetic structure drive frugivory in Tyrannidae birds across the range of Brazilian Araucaria forests
