Small-island effect is detected for both native and non-native seed plants in the largest archipelago of China
The small-island effect (SIE) describes a particular form of species–area relationship where species richness on small islands is independent of island area or relates to area in a different way than for larger islands in the same system. The pattern has been detected in many taxa and island…

Body mass–abundance relationships reveal uneven global energy distribution across body size classes in vertebrates
The relationship between species body mass and abundance (MAR-SPP) is a fundamental feature of ecosystems, reflecting whether energy is accumulated in few large organisms or dispersed amongst several smaller ones. While larger species are generally less abundant than smaller ones, identifying broad…

Biogeographical patterns of the genus Plectostoma H. Adams, 1865 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) in Sundaland’s limestone ecosystems
Sundaland’s limestone ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots facing increasing threats from habitat fragmentation and human activities. Our study examines the biogeographical patterns of the limestone-obligate land snail genus Plectostoma across Sundaland to identify the drivers of species richness…

The role of the climate niche in repeated abrupt tree declines and ecotone dynamics in the Appalachian Mountains during the Holocene
Forests in eastern North American did not achieve a stable composition during the Holocene. Both prolonged and abrupt shifts in the distributions of tree species were common. Studying the dynamics involved can help anticipate the responsiveness of forest biogeography to climate change today. Here…

Diverging responses of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic plant diversity to biogeographic parameters in arid habitat islands of southern Africa
Habitat islands conceptually bridge true islands and habitat patches, adding new perspectives to island biogeographic principles that shape community assembly processes. Despite growing interest, empirical studies are scarce and the drivers of biodiversity in these systems, such as different…

Towards the human-induced “eemification” of the recent Holocene: a perspective from the Canary Islands
The ruling climate conditions during the Last Interglacial, the Eemian (ca. 130–120 ky BP), were warmer and, consequently, the sea level stood 8–10 m higher than today. Ongoing human-induced climate change is progressively transforming the Holocene climatic and biogeographical conditions towards…

Diversity, origin, and biogeography of a widely distributed genus of African tree snakes (Colubridae, Dipsadoboa)
The genus Dipsadoboa (Colubridae) is a widely distributed group of arboreal snakes encompassing 13 recognized species across sub-Saharan Africa. Despite its ecological significance and the availability of specimens, its phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic history remain poorly resolved…

Biogeographic origins of the disjunct distribution of the chacoan Neotropical frog Pleurodema guayapae
Disjunct distributions, in which populations of a putative species are separated by large distances, represent an important, albeit poorly understood pattern in biogeography. Detailed study of these populations often reveals that they actually comprise more than one species resulting from prolonged…

Revealing hidden patterns in the potential distribution of Leposternon polystegum (Duméril, 1851) (Amphisbaenia, Amphisbaenidae) using fuzzy logic modeling
Leposternon polystegum is a fossorial reptile endemic to Brazil, distributed across several biomes. However, the environmental and spatial factors that shape its distribution remain poorly understood. Species distribution models provide useful insights into how different environmental gradients…

Long-term monitoring reveals contrasting effects of weather and climate on taxonomic and functional diversity of birds on the East Frisian Islands in the Wadden Sea
Climate change is reshaping biodiversity, yet it remains challenging to distinguish the respective influences of short-term weather variability and long-term climate trends, particularly with regard to functional diversity. We analysed two long-term monitoring programmes in the Wadden Sea: one…

Biogeography of pollination under climate change: integrating pollinator effectiveness into species distribution models for mango in South Africa
Pollination by wild insects is vital for maintaining ecosystems and food security, but climate change is altering the biogeography of many pollinator species. While progress has been made in assessing climate-driven range shifts using species distribution models (SDMs), most assume all pollinators…

A new palaeo-tectonic model of New Guinea and its consequences for understanding Indo-Pacific avian diversity in space and through time
The field of biogeography aims to reconcile geological changes with the distribution of biodiversity in space and through time. To this end, we examine how geology and climate have affected the spatio-temporal build-up of avian diversity on New Guinea and surrounding islands with a particular focus…

The historical biogeography of the New World blackbirds (Icteridae)
The New World blackbirds (Icteridae) are a widely distributed, ecologically diverse avian family whose biogeographic history remains poorly understood. Competing hypotheses have proposed Neotropical or Nearctic origins, while the relative roles of dispersal, in situ speciation, and range evolution…

Amazon-wide distribution patterns of understory plants: Effects of soils and changing climate
Distributions of Amazonian plants are poorly known. Here, we analyze to what degree current Amazon-wide species distribution patterns reflect general aspects of the species’ environmental niches, and how distributions may be affected by climate change. Occurrence records from quantitative field…

Community diversity of marine fishes in complete and habitat islands
Insular aquatic habitats have the potential to expand upon current theory by providing alterna/tive perspectives on island biogeographical processes. Here, we investigate whether marine lakes—seawater surrounded by land—show patterns expected for ‘complete’ (e.g., ‘true’ oceanic islands) or…

Biodiversity knowledge through web design: the World of Crayfish® platform
Biodiversity databases have expanded dramatically over the past two decades, turning scattered observations into vast digital repositories of species occurrence records. General-purpose infrastructures such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and the Atlas of Living Australia…

The historical biogeography of marine ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) in the Southwest Pacific: species richness and endemism patterns
Inferring how biodiversity is generated and how it responded to past events is fundamental to understanding how biodiversity may respond to future changes. As the largest ubiquitous taxonomic group amongst marine vertebrates, ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) represent a good model to understand…

Recent introduction or evidence for a northern dispersal corridor between East and Central Asia? The case of Radix plicatula
The freshwater fauna of Central Asia is largely composed of widespread Eurasian taxa and shares little overlap with the highly endemic assemblages of Southeast Asia. Here, the first record of the East Asian pond snail Radix plicatula (W. H. Benson, 1842) in Central Asia (northern Tien Shan…

Hypothesis-driven biogeography to estimate rates and dates when fossil evidence is scarce: a case study using an ancient, Holarctic genus of spider (Araneae, Antrodiaetidae, Antrodiaetus)
Understanding when lineages diverged is a common inquiry within the field of biogeography and often requires a rate of evolution and a means to calibrate the phylogeny to absolute time. While fossil evidence is the most common means regarding calibration, estimated molecular rates specific to the…

Biogeography of tropical dry forest soils
Tropical dry forest is a biome characterized by prolonged dry seasons which harbors an exceptionally rich floristic biodiversity. Yet it is among the most threatened biomes and its belowground diversity remains poorly documented. Here, we analyzed the soil environmental DNA with metabarcoding to…
