Abstract: Abstract The evolutionary mechanisms underlying the biogeochemical niche conservatism in forests remain incompletely understood. Here we aimed to determine how the strengths of biogeochemical niche conservatism vary among elements and between life forms. We measured… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2018.10.018
Abstract: Temperature is one of the most important environmental variables for organisms, especially for ectothermic animals. In fact, ectotherms must move within a relatively narrow range of temperatures where they are able to maximize their performance.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s1002-0160(19)60826-x
Abstract: Abstract Functional redundancy in soil microbial communities seems to contradict the notion that individual species have distinct metabolic niches in multi-species communities. All soil microbiota have the metabolic capacity for “basic” functions (e.g., respiration and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.14145
Abstract: To test the importance of evolutionary and biogeographical processes in shaping the assembly of local frog communities in two adjacent regions (hereafter, coastal and inland regions) with different historical signatures. We asked two main questions:… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.03154
Abstract: One of the most intriguing questions in current ecology is the extent to which the ecological niches of species are conserved in space and time. Niche conservatism has mostly been studied using coarse-scale data of… read more here.

Biogeography of Argylia D. Don (Bignoniaceae): Diversification, Andean Uplift and Niche Conservatism
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Plant Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.724057
Abstract: Andean uplift and the concomitant formation of the Diagonal Arid of South America is expected to have promoted species diversification through range expansions into this novel environment. We evaluate the evolution of Argylia, a genus… read more here.
