Abstract: Abstract Rhytismataceous fungi (Ascomycota) exhibit ligninolytic activities during the initial stages of litter decomposition. We quantitatively investigated the geographical distributions of rhytismataceous fungi on Camellia japonica leaf litter across Japan. We found three rhytismataceous species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/geb.12538
Abstract: Aim Many studies postulate that physiological tolerance of climatic variables imposes the primary limit on species geographical distributions, that tolerances are constant through time, that climate has warmed and that geographical distributions shift to maintain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.12907
Abstract: Aim The determinants of species’ geographical ranges are the result of both abiotic and biotic factors. Among co-occurring closely related species, some degree of differentiation in niche characteristics is assumed necessary to allow continued coexistence.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-017-1734-y
Abstract: BackgroundMany of the mosquito species responsible for malaria transmission belong to a sibling complex; a taxonomic group of morphologically identical, closely related species. Sibling species often differ in several important factors that have the potential… read more here.
