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 …

The more‐individuals hypothesis revisited: the role of community abundance in species richness regulation and the productivity–diversity relationship
Species richness increases with energy availability, yet there is little consensus as to the
exact processes driving this species–energy relationship. The most straightforward …

[HTML][HTML] Global minimum estimates of children affected by COVID-19-associated orphanhood and deaths of caregivers: a modelling study
Background The COVID-19 pandemic priorities have focused on prevention, detection, and
response. Beyond morbidity and mortality, pandemics carry secondary impacts, such as …

The global diversity of birds in space and time
Current global patterns of biodiversity result from processes that operate over both space
and time and thus require an integrated macroecological and macroevolutionary …

Estimating the normal background rate of species extinction
A key measure of humanity's global impact is by how much it has increased species
extinction rates. Familiar statements are that these are 100–1000 times pre‐human or …

[HTML][HTML] 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 …

The abiotic and biotic drivers of rapid diversification in A ndean bellflowers (Campanulaceae)
Summary The tropical Andes of South America, the world's richest biodiversity hotspot, are
home to many rapid radiations. While geological, climatic, and ecological processes …
