partR2: Partitioning R2 in generalized linear mixed models
The coefficient of determination R 2 quantifies the amount of variance explained by
regression coefficients in a linear model. It can be seen as the fixed-effects complement to …

Diversification in evolutionary arenas—Assessment and synthesis
Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a key issue in
evolutionary biology, ecology, and biogeography. Evolutionary rates are the net result of …

A global analysis of song frequency in passerines provides no support for the acoustic adaptation hypothesis but suggests a role for sexual selection
Animals use acoustic signals for communication, implying that the properties of these
signals can be under strong selection. The acoustic adaptation hypothesis predicts that …

Mammalian body size is determined by interactions between climate, urbanization, and ecological traits
Anthropogenically-driven climate warming is a hypothesized driver of animal body size
reductions. Less understood are effects of other human-caused disturbances on body size …

Small genome size and variation in ploidy levels support the naturalization of vascular plants but constrain their invasive spread
Karyological characteristics are among the traits underpinning the invasion success of
vascular plants. Using 11 049 species, we tested the effects of genome size and ploidy …

The effect of urbanization on plant phenology depends on regional temperature
Plant and animal phenology is shifting in response to urbanization, with most hypotheses
focusing on the 'urban heat island'(UHI) effect as the driver. However, generalities regarding …

Dwarfism and gigantism drive human-mediated extinctions on islands
Islands have long been recognized as distinctive evolutionary arenas leading to
morphologically divergent species, such as dwarfs and giants. We assessed how body size …

Global patterns of population genetic differentiation in seed plants
D Gamba, N Muchhala - Molecular Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Evaluating the factors that drive patterns of population differentiation in plants is critical for
understanding several biological processes such as local adaptation and incipient …

Phenological research based on natural history collections: Practical guidelines and a lepidopteran case study
Natural history collections (NHCs) have been indispensable to understanding longerterm
trends of the timing of seasonal events. Massivescale digitization of specimens promises to …

Ecophysiological adaptations shape distributions of closely related trees along a climatic moisture gradient
Tradeoffs between the energetic benefits and costs of traits can shape species and trait
distributions along environmental gradients. Here we test predictions based on such …
