Conceptual and empirical bridges between micro-and macroevolution
Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

[HTML][HTML] Scale-sensitivity in the measurement and interpretation of environmental niches
Species environmental niches are central to ecology, evolution, and global change
research, but their characterization and interpretation depend on the spatial scale …

Most invasive species largely conserve their climatic niche
The ecological niche is a key concept for elucidating patterns of species distributions and
developing strategies for conserving biodiversity. However, recent times are seeing a …

Functional diversity of marine megafauna in the Anthropocene
Marine megafauna, the largest animals in the oceans, serve key roles in ecosystem
functioning. Yet, one-third of these animals are at risk of extinction. To better understand the …

Fossil biomolecules reveal an avian metabolism in the ancestral dinosaur
Birds and mammals independently evolved the highest metabolic rates among living
animals. Their metabolism generates heat that enables active thermoregulation, shaping the …

Fossil-informed models reveal a boreotropical origin and divergent evolutionary trajectories in the walnut family (Juglandaceae)
Temperate woody plants in the Northern Hemisphere have long been known to exhibit high
species richness in East Asia and North America and significantly lower diversity in Europe …

Local climatic changes affect biodiversity responses to land use: A review
JJ Williams, T Newbold - Diversity and Distributions, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Climate and land‐use change, the greatest pressures on biodiversity, can directly
influence each other. One key case is the impact land‐use change has on local climatic …

Climatic-niche evolution follows similar rules in plants and animals
Climatic niches are essential in determining where species can occur and how they will
respond to climate change. However, it remains unclear if climatic-niche evolution is similar …
