DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6773
Abstract: Abstract Rock climbing is popular, and the number of climbers rises worldwide. Numerous studies on the impact of climbing on rock‐dwelling plants have reported negative effects, which were mainly attributed to mechanical disturbances such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3829-z
Abstract: Lake Malaŵi cichlids have evolved rapidly, extensively, and in some cases iteratively to fill an array of ecological niches; however, neither species richness nor trophic diversity is distributed equally across lineages. In the context of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syac006
Abstract: Abstract Whole genome sequences are beginning to revolutionize our understanding of phylogenetic relationships. Yet, even whole genome sequences can fail to resolve the evolutionary history of the most rapidly radiating lineages, where incomplete lineage sorting,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13220
Abstract: Abstract Aim Taxon co‐occurrence analysis is commonly used in ecology, but it has not been applied to range‐wide distribution data of partly allopatric taxa because existing methods cannot differentiate between distribution‐related effects and taxon interactions.… read more here.

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4434.1.9
Abstract: We describe a new species of rock-dwelling gecko, Hemidactylus paaragowlipaaragowli sp. nov., from the Agastyamalai Hill Range, in the southern Western Ghats. Morphological and molecular data support the distinctiveness of the species and its close… read more here.

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5296.2.7
Abstract: The rock-dwelling cichlids from Lake Malaŵi, known as mbuna, comprise a diverse group of haplochromine fishes that are placed among 14 genera. Within the mbuna, Pseudotropheus is a polyphyletic genus, which has served as a… read more here.
