Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s40656-021-00436-0
Abstract: The biogeographic contributions of Léon Croizat (1894–1982) and the conflictive relationships with his intellectual descendants and critics are analysed. Croizat’s panbiogeography assumed that vicariance is the most important biogeographic process and that dispersal does not… read more here.

Ancient Mitogenomes Reveal the Evolutionary History and Biogeography of Sloths
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.05.043
Abstract: Living sloths represent two distinct lineages of small-sized mammals that independently evolved arboreality from terrestrial ancestors. The six extant species are the survivors of an evolutionary radiation marked by the extinction of large terrestrial forms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.hal.2017.05.004
Abstract: In the last decades, the cyanobacterium Dolichospermum lemmermannii showed an increasing spread to Southern Europe, raising serious concerns due to its ability to produce cyanotoxins. The widening of its geographic distribution and the observation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jasrep.2021.103028
Abstract: Abstract Integrating ancient fossil DNA with modern genetic samples is aiding in advancing the fields of ecology and biogeography. However, wide gaps in the fossil record still remain throughout the tropics, while genetic and genomic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pbi.2020.02.010
Abstract: Bacterial strains are not distributed evenly throughout the environment. Here I explore how differential distribution and dispersal patterns of bacteria could affect interactions and coevolutionary dynamics with plants, and highlight ways that variation could be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tplants.2019.12.022
Abstract: The study of insular systems has a long history in ecology and biogeography. Island plants often differ remarkably from their noninsular counterparts, constituting excellent models for exploring eco-evolutionary processes. Trait-based approaches can help to answer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2018.04.023
Abstract: Beetles have colonized freshwater habitats multiple times throughout their evolutionary history. Some of these aquatic lineages are associated exclusively with waterfall-like habitats, often with modified morphologies to cope with their unusual way of life. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2021.107198
Abstract: Understanding how and why some groups have become more species-rich than others, and how past biogeography may have shaped their current distribution, are questions that evolutionary biologists have long attempted to answer. We investigated diversification… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00318884.2023.2201152
Abstract: ABSTRACT A phylogeographic approach is the only way to study the dispersal history of most algae, which are rarely preserved as fossils. However, the only freshwater alga for which this approach has been applied on… read more here.
