Aim Biogeographical regionalizations, such as zoogeographical regions, floristic kingdoms
or ecoregions, represent categorizations central to many basic and applied questions in …

The Aegean archipelago, comprising numerous islands and islets with great heterogeneity
in topographic, geological, historical and environmental properties, offers an ideal natural …

" Rather than favoring only one approach, Juan J. Morrone proposes a comprehensive
treatment of the developments and theories of evolutionary biogeography. Evolutionary …

Several methods have been proposed for use in identifying and classifying areas of
endemism. Parsimony analysis of endemicity (PAE) is the most widely used. It constructs …

Biogeographic regionalizations provide frameworks for a holistic understanding of river
basin areas and their inland water ecosystems. Here we employ the freshwater ecoregion …

The nose-horned viper (Vipera ammodytes) occurs in a large part of the south-eastern
Europe and Asia Minor. Phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed for a total of 59 …

Comparative phylogeographical studies in island archipelagos can reveal lineage‐specific
differential responses to the geological and climatic history. We analysed patterns of genetic …

The taxonomic concepts of Blapimorpha and Opatrinae (informal and traditional,
morphology‐based groupings among darkling beetles) are tested using molecular …

Aim To propose a new approach to the small island effect (SIE) and a simple mathematical
procedure for the estimation of its upper limit. The main feature of the SIE is that below an …

A positive correlation between species diversity and genetic diversity has been proposed,
consistent with neutral predictions in macroecology. We assessed the species–genetic …
