A growing body of research is focused on the extinction of parasite species in response to
host endangerment and declines. Beyond the loss of parasite species richness, host …

Aim When dividing the world into zoogeographical regions, A lfred R ussel W allace
stipulated a set of criteria by which regions should be determined, foremost the use of …

Although Bergmann's rule–stating that among closely related species, the bigger ones will
inhabit the colder climates/higher latitudes–was formulated for inter‐specific comparisons …

Aim Bergmann's rule remains unexplored in marine mammals. We first examine at a global
extent whether these organisms show the same interspecific pattern reported for terrestrial …

Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC), a pattern of closely related species retaining
ancestral niche‐related traits over evolutionary time, is well documented for abiotic …

Identifying structure underlying high-dimensional data is a common challenge across
scientific disciplines. We revisit correspondence analysis (CA), a classical method revealing …

Aim Human activities have led to hundreds of species extinctions and have narrowed the
distribution of many of the remaining species. These changes influence our understanding …

Aim We present a novel quantitative framework that combines information on phylogeny and
the spatial distributions of related species to enhance the single‐species distributional …

Aim Wild biodiversity and agrobiodiversity are affected by challenges such as agricultural
intensification. However, it is unknown whether or not both components of biodiversity …

Aim Examining the biogeography of body size is crucial for understanding how animal
communities are assembled and maintained. In tetrapods, body size varies predictably with …
