In a recent study posted to the EcoEvoRxiv* preprint server, researchers developed a spatial and quantitative framework to explore the biogeography of and map the evolutionary risk of bat-origin beta ...
About 445 million years ago, Earth nearly wiped out life in the oceans. Glaciers spread across the supercontinent Gondwana, ...
Premise of the study:The parasitic genus Cuscuta, containing some 200 species circumscribed traditionally in three subgenera, is nearly cosmopolitan, occurring in a wide range of habitats and hosts.
New research led by scientists at the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath suggests that determining evolutionary trees of organisms by comparing anatomy rather than gene sequences is ...
Africa has a huge diversity of large mammals, but their evolutionary relationships and movement across the continent over time often remain a mystery. A new scientific study sheds light on ...
Biogeography and phylogeography are complementary disciplines that seek to explain the distribution of life on Earth by integrating historical, ecological, geological, and genetic perspectives.
Journal of Biogeography, Vol. 46, No. 8, Alexander von Humboldt Special Issue (August 2019), pp. 1841-1856 (16 pages) Aim:The aim of this study is to describe and illustrate with maps the distribution ...
1. The spatial basis of biogeography -- 2. Analyzing the timeline of evolution -- 3. New Zealand geology -- 4. Introduction to the New Zealand biota and its geography -- 5. Biogeography of northern ...
Biogeography and phylogeography collectively seek to elucidate the spatial and temporal patterns underlying the distribution of life on Earth. Whereas biogeography examines the broad-scale ...
