Understanding the relationship between dispersal and range size
A Alzate, RE Onstein - Ecology Letters, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The drivers of variability in species range sizes remain an outstanding enigma in ecology.
The theoretical expectation of a positive dispersal‐range size relationship has received …

The evolution of reproductive modes and life cycles in amphibians
Amphibians have undergone important evolutionary transitions in reproductive modes and
life-cycles. We compare large-scale macroevolutionary patterns in these transitions across …

Body size predicts the rate of contemporary morphological change in birds
Variation in evolutionary rates among species is a defining characteristic of the tree of life
and may be an important predictor of species' capacities to adapt to rapid environmental …

Sex chromosomes as supergenes of speciation: why amphibians defy the rules?
C Dufresnes, PA Crochet - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
As reflected by the two rules of speciation (Haldane's rule and the large X-/Z-effect), sex
chromosomes are expected to behave like supergenes of speciation: they recombine only in …

Host ecology rather than host phylogeny drives amphibian skin microbial community structure in the biodiversity hotspot of Madagascar
Host-associated microbiotas of vertebrates are diverse and complex communities that
contribute to host health. In particular, for amphibians, cutaneous microbial communities …
