DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2656
Abstract: Abstract The evolutionary history and classification of epiphyllous cryptogams are still poorly known. Leptolejeunea is a largely epiphyllous pantropical liverwort genus with about 25 species characterized by deeply bilobed underleaves, elliptic to narrowly obovate leaf… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0002
Abstract: Understanding where, when and how species’ ranges will be modified is both a fundamental problem and essential to predicting how spatio-temporal environmental changes in abiotic and biotic factors impact biodiversity. Notably, different species may respond… read more here.

Mosaics of climatic stress across species' ranges: tradeoffs cause adaptive evolution to limits of climatic tolerance

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0003
Abstract: Studies in birds and trees show climatic stresses distributed across species' ranges, not only at range limits. Here, new analyses from the butterfly Euphydryas editha reveal mechanisms generating these stresses: geographic mosaics of natural selection,… read more here.

Understanding the biology of species' ranges: when and how does evolution change the rules of ecological engagement?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0027
Abstract: Understanding processes that limit species' ranges has been a core issue in ecology and evolutionary biology for many decades, and has become increasingly important given the need to predict the responses of biological communities to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.ade2109
Abstract: Freeman et al. (Reports, 22 July 2022, p. 416) argue that interspecific competition rather than climate is the leading driver of bird species’ elevational ranges. A reanalysis of their data shows no support for the… read more here.
