Avian diversity: Speciation, macroevolution, and ecological function
JA Tobias, J Ottenburghs… - Annual Review of Ecology …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
The origin, distribution, and function of biological diversity are fundamental themes of
ecology and evolutionary biology. Research on birds has played a major role in the history …

Ecological drivers of global gradients in avian dispersal inferred from wing morphology
An organism's ability to disperse influences many fundamental processes, from speciation
and geographical range expansion to community assembly. However, the patterns and …

Global patterns and predictors of bird species responses to forest fragmentation: implications for ecosystem function and conservation
The fragmentation of forests is a dominant human impact worldwide with major implications
for the conservation and management of ecosystems. Although many studies have …

Large-scale phylogenetic analyses reveal the causes of high tropical amphibian diversity
Many groups show higher species richness in tropical regions but the underlying causes
remain unclear. Despite many competing hypotheses to explain latitudinal diversity …

Species interactions constrain geographic range expansion over evolutionary time
Whether biotic interactions limit geographic ranges has long been controversial, and
traditional analyses of static distribution patterns have made little progress towards resolving …

Climate-driven variation in dispersal ability predicts responses to forest fragmentation in birds
Species sensitivity to forest fragmentation varies latitudinally, peaking in the tropics. A
prominent explanation for this pattern is that historical landscape disturbance at higher …

Global impacts of edge effects on species richness
Almost all world's forest areas are predicted to be near edges by 2100, making the detection
and prediction of biodiversity responses to edges an urgent need. Yet, idiosyncratic …

Territoriality, social bonds, and the evolution of communal signaling in birds
Communal signaling—wherein males and females collaborate to produce joint visual or
acoustic displays—is perhaps the most complex and least understood form of …
