Examining biological diversity in an explicitly evolutionary context has been the subject of
research for several decades, yet relatively recent advances in analytical techniques and the …

In recent years, interest in understanding the effects of climate change on species and
ecological systems has sharply increased. We quantify and contextualize the current state of …

This comprehensive introductory text integrates evolutionary, ecological, and demographic
perspectives with new results from field studies and contemporary noninvasive molecular …

Abstract Aim In 1833, CL Gloger observed that bird populations living in warm and wet
habitats were darker than those found in dry, cool areas. However, this hypothesis has …

Primates might be particularly vulnerable to experiencing adverse effects from climate
change, given their level of exposure, sensitivity to climatic conditions, and biological traits …

Background Numerous researchers have posited that there should be a strong negative
relationship between the evolutionary distance among species and their ecological …

Determining the mechanisms that underlie species distributions and assemblages is
necessary to effectively preserve biodiversity. This cannot be accomplished by examining a …

Identifying patterns of primate diversity and abundance over space and time provides a
window into the ecological processes that influence species distributions and community …

Diamond (Assembly of species communities. In: Cody ML, Diamond JM, editors. Ecology
and evolution of communities. Cambridge: Belknap. p 342–444 (1975)) argued that …

Environmental stress on primate populations can take many forms. Abiotic factors, such as
temperature and precipitation, may directly influence the behavior of primates owing to …
