The extent to which the sequence and timing of important events on Earth have influenced
biological evolution through geological time is a matter of ongoing debate. In this context …

Deciphering the timing of lineage diversification and extinction has greatly benefited in the
last decade from methodological developments in fossil-based analyses. If these advances …

The numerous naturally-fragmented sky islands (SIs) in the Hengduan Mountains Region
(HMR) of southwestern China constitute discontinuous landscapes where montane habitats …

The diversification of alpine species has been modulated by their climatic niches interacting
with changing climatic conditions. The relative roles of climatic niche conservatism …

Simple Summary As one of the most species-rich genera of Ephemeroptera, Epeorus Eaton,
1881, was found to be widely distributed in Holarctic and Oriental regions, and nine …

Abstract The turbulent Tertiary and Quaternary history of Europe and the Ponto-Caucasus
has had a strong impact on its biota, resulting in unusual patterns of speciation …

The evolution and distribution of mountain biota are closely linked with mountain formation
and topographic complexity. Here we explore the diversification of cold‐tolerant mayflies of …

Abstract Philonthus splendens sideropterus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) was considered a
Caucasian intraspecific form of the widespread West Palearctic Philonthus splendens with …

The poor mobility of nymphs living underground, usually for many years, and the weak flying
ability of adults make cicadas unique for evolutionary biology and bio-geographical study …

Simple Summary Heptageniidae is the third most species-rich family within Ephemeroptera
