Evolutionary origins, macroevolutionary dynamics, and climatic niche space of the succulent plant syndrome in the Caryophyllales.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of experimental botany"
DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erae428
Abstract: The succulent plant syndrome is defined by the coordination of traits that enhance internal water storage within plant tissues. Although distributed globally in different habitats, succulent plants are thought to have evolved to avoid drought… read more here.

Climatic niche evolution and desert colonization in a South American lizard radiation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society"
DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlae116
Abstract: Organisms in adaptive radiations are able to diversify and colonize multiple environments. Frequently, the evolution of key adaptations enables organisms to confront novel environmental challenges, promoting diversification. Here, we studied desert colonization in the Liolaemus… read more here.

Unravelling the climatic niche overlap of global sea turtle nesting sites: impact of geographical variation and phylogeny
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Biogeography"
DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13092
Abstract: Aim Identifying processes that determine climatic niche dynamics is difficult, especially for wide-ranging species where niche conservatism might differ at different life stages. Evolutionary history shapes climatic niche, with populations of the same or phylogenetically… read more here.

Similar, but Not the Same: Time and Mode of Climatic Niche Evolution in a Highly Endemic Lineage
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of Biogeography"
DOI: 10.1111/jbi.15048
Abstract: Plant lineages are disproportionally diverse in areas characterised by specific climatic regimes. The campos rupestres habitats in the mountains of Eastern/Central Brazil, for instance, display huge plant endemism and high precipitation seasonality. The genus Vellozia… read more here.
