Disentangling the environmental heterogeneity, floristic distinctiveness and current threats of tropical dry forests in Colombia
(2018)
Tropical dry forests (TDFs) have been defined as a single biome occurring mostly in the lowlands where there is a marked period of drought during the year. In the Neotropics, dry forests occur across contrasting biogeographical ...
First record of the invasive Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonnès, 1818) (Squamata, Gekkonidae), in the dry Chaco, Argentina
(Pensoft Publishers, 2018-08)
The invasive Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonnès, 1818) is one of the most widespread introduced species of reptiles, being present in the New World at least 500 years ago. In this work, we report for the first time, ...
Biogeographic Distribution Patterns and Their Correlates in the Diverse Frog Fauna of the Atlantic Forest Hotspot
(Public Library Science, 2014-08-20)
Anurans are a highly diverse group in the Atlantic Forest hotspot (AF), yet distribution patterns and species richness gradients are not randomly distributed throughout the biome. Thus, we explore how anuran species are ...
Plant endemism in the Sierras of Córdoba and San Luis (Argentina): understanding links between phylogeny and regional biogeographical patterns
(Pensoft Publishers, 2015-02)
We compiled a checklist with all known endemic plants occurring in the Sierras of Córdoba and San Luis, an isolated mountainous range located in central Argentina. In order to obtain a better understanding of the ...
Environmental factors related to biogeographical transition zones of areas of endemism of Neotropical mammals
(Csiro Publishing, 2018-01-31)
Biogeographical transition zones are areas of a complex biotic mixture located at the borders between biogeographical units. Climatic, physical and ecological factors should play an important role in allowing coexistence ...
Analysis of the interrelations between biogeographic systems and the dynamics of the Port-Waterfront Cities: Cartagena de Indias, Colombia
(2019)
This research shows that the correlations of the Port-Waterfront Cities and their development throughout history have led to conceptual evolution to strengthen and implement: sustainable cities. The main objective of this ...
Analysis of the interrelations between biogeographic systems and the dynamics of the Port-Waterfront Cities: Cartagena de Indias, Colombia
(2020)
This research shows that the correlations of the Port-Waterfront Cities and their development throughout history have led to conceptual evolution to strengthen and implement: sustainable cities. The main objective of this ...
Pleistocene mammals from pampean region (Argentina). biostratigraphic, biogeographic, and environmental implications
(MDPI AG, 2021-06)
The Pampean Region contains sedimentary sequences with abundant mammal fossil records, which constitute the chronological outline of the Plio–Pleistocene of South America. These classic localities have been used for more ...
Transition boundaries for protistan species turnover in hypersaline waters of different biogeographic regions
The identification of environmental barriers which govern species distribution is a fundamental concern in ecology. Even though salt was previously identified as a major transition boundary for micro- and macroorganisms ...
Delimitation of the Nearctic region according to mammalian distributional patterns
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2010-12)
The Nearctic has been recognized as a biogeographic region since the 19th century. We analyzed distributional patterns of the mammals inhabiting North and Central America, from Alaska to Panama, to delimit the boundaries ...
