Biogeography and molecular diversity of coral symbionts in the genus Symbiodinium around the Arabian Peninsula [0.03%]
珊瑚共生生物Symbiodinium属在阿拉伯半岛周围的生物地理学和分子多样性
Maren Ziegler,Chatchanit Arif,John A Burt et al.
Maren Ziegler et al.
Aim: Coral reefs rely on the symbiosis between scleractinian corals and intracellular, photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium making the assessment of symbiont diversity critical to our understanding of ...
Thomas A Neubauer,Elisavet Georgopoulou,Mathias Harzhauser et al.
Thomas A Neubauer et al.
Aim: To investigate shell size variation among gastropod faunas of fossil and recent long-lived European lakes and discuss potential underlying processes. ...
Breaking out of biogeographical modules: range expansion and taxon cycles in the hyperdiverse ant genus Pheidole [0.03%]
突破生物地理模块：超多样性蚂蚁属Pheidole的分布扩张和分类周期现象
Evan P Economo,Eli M Sarnat,Milan Janda et al.
Evan P Economo et al.
Aim: We sought to reconstruct the biogeographical structure and dynamics of a hyperdiverse ant genus, Pheidole, and to test several predictions of the taxon cycle hypothesis. Using large datasets on Pheidole geographical ...
Contrasting species and functional beta diversity in montane ant assemblages [0.03%]
山地蚂蚁集合体中物种和功能β多样性差异性研究
Tom R Bishop,Mark P Robertson,Berndt J van Rensburg et al.
Tom R Bishop et al.
Aim: Beta diversity describes the variation in species composition between sites and can be used to infer why different species occupy different parts of the globe. It can be viewed in a number of ways. First, it can be p...
Donna Lisa De-Silva,Marianne Elias,Keith Willmott et al.
Donna Lisa De-Silva et al.
Aim: Despite the greatest butterfly diversity on Earth occurring in the Neotropical Andes and Amazonia, there is still keen debate about the origins of this exceptional biota. A densely sampled calibrated phylogeny for a ...
Speciation in the dark: diversification and biogeography of the deep-sea gastropod genus Scaphander in the Atlantic Ocean [0.03%]
深海蜗牛属的物种形成、分化和生物地理学：大西洋深海中的斯卡法登蜗牛属
Mari H Eilertsen,Manuel António E Malaquias
Mari H Eilertsen
Aim: The aim of this work was to improve understanding about the mode, geography and tempo of diversification in deep-sea organisms, using a time-calibrated molecular phylogeny of the heterobranch gastropod genus Scaphand...
A matter of scale: apparent niche differentiation of diploid and tetraploid plants may depend on extent and grain of analysis [0.03%]
规模问题：二倍体和四倍体植物的表观生态位分化可能取决于分析的范围和粒度
Bernhard Kirchheimer,Christoph C F Schinkel,Agnes S Dellinger et al.
Bernhard Kirchheimer et al.
Aim: Emerging polyploids may depend on environmental niche shifts for successful establishment. Using the alpine plant Ranunculus kuepferi as a model system, we explore the niche shift hypothesis at different spatial reso...
The influence of the starvation-predation trade-off on the relationship between ambient temperature and body size among endotherms [0.03%]
捕食压力与饥饿之间的权衡对恒温动物体温和体型关系的影响
John M McNamara,Andrew D Higginson,Simon Verhulst
John M McNamara
Aim: The tendency for animals at higher latitudes to be larger (Bergmann's rule) is generally explained by recourse to latitudinal effects on ambient temperature and the food supply, but these receive only mixed support a...
Spatial distribution patterns of plague hosts: point pattern analysis of the burrows of great gerbils in Kazakhstan [0.03%]
鼠疫宿主的空间分布格局：哈萨克斯坦大gerbils栖洞的点格局分析
Liesbeth I Wilschut,Anne Laudisoit,Nelika K Hughes et al.
Liesbeth I Wilschut et al.
Aim: The spatial structure of a population can strongly influence the dynamics of infectious diseases, yet rarely is the underlying structure quantified. A case in point is plague, an infectious zoonotic disease caused by...
Climate and soil attributes determine plant species turnover in global drylands [0.03%]
气候和土壤特征决定了全球干旱地区植物物种的更替
Werner Ulrich,Santiago Soliveres,Fernando T Maestre et al.
Werner Ulrich et al.
Aim: Geographic, climatic, and soil factors are major drivers of plant beta diversity, but their importance for dryland plant communities is poorly known. This study aims to: i) characterize patterns of beta diversity in ...
