Latitudinal distribution of polyplacophorans along the South-eastern Pacific coast: unravelling biases in geographical diversity patterns
(Springer, 2020)
Latitudinal diversity patterns in marine species are commonly estimated from literature records, which at times are incomplete and/or biased. Advances in molecular phylogenetics have contributed to avoid this bias, clarifying ...

Seed mass, seed number and evolutionary trade off across geographic distribution: do they explain invasiveness in Eschscholzia californica, central Chile?
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Background: Seed mass is a life history trait that is related to invasiveness. Under limiting conditions, a trade-off is observed whereby an increase in seed mass occurs at the expense of seed numbers; if the above trade-off ...
