Areas of endemism are important in biogeography because they capture facets of
biodiversity not represented elsewhere. However, the scales at which they are relevant to …

Determining where species diversify (cradles) and persist (museums) over evolutionary time
is fundamental to understanding the distribution of biodiversity and for conservation …

Phylogenetic diversity measures are increasingly used in conservation planning to
represent aspects of biodiversity beyond that captured by species richness. Here we …

Aim Mountains and islands are both well known for their high endemism. To explain this
similarity, parallels have been drawn between the insularity of “true islands”(land …

North America is a large continent with extensive climatic, geological, soil, and biological
diversity. As biota faces threat from habitat destruction and climate change, making a …

Aim We mapped global patterns of tree phylogenetic endemism (PE) to identify hotspots and
test hypotheses about possible drivers. Specifically, we tested hypotheses related to current …

Large‐scale phylogenies provide a framework for interdisciplinary investigations in
taxonomy, evolutionary biology, biogeography, ecology, and conservation. Integration of …

Aim We combine phylogenetic and point locality data from selected lineages of the Atlantic
Forest flora and fauna to compare spatial patterns of biodiversity sustained by the current …

Despite the increasing use of protoplasts in plant biotechnology research, shoot
regeneration from protoplasts remains challenging. In this study, we investigated the factors …

Human-induced biodiversity loss has been accelerating since the industrial revolution. The
climate change impacts will severely alter the biodiversity and biogeographical patterns at …
