Changing Only Slowly: The Role of Phylogenetic Niche Conservatism in Caviidae (Rodentia) Speciation
(Springer, 2020-04)
The dynamics of species diversification have attracted significant scientific attention in recent decades. Many lineages tend tomaintain their niche characteristics over evolutionary time, a phenomenon known as phylogenetic ...
Climatic niche breadths of the Atlantic Forest snakes do not increase with increasing latitude
(Oxford Univ Press, 2021-11-06)
The climatic niche is a central concept for understanding species distribution, with current and past climate interpreted as strong drivers of present and historical-geographical ranges. Our aim is to understand whether ...
Biogeographical patterns and processes in the genus group Scotussae (Acrididae: Melanoplinae): an integrative approach
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-06)
A biogeographical study of the genus group Scotussae, a clade of grasshoppers endemic to the subtropical temperate region of the La Plata Basin, South America, was performed within a phylogenetic context to test whether ...
Climatic niche evolution in the Andean genus Menonvillea (Cremolobeae: Brassicaceae)
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-03)
The study of how climatic niches change over evolutionary time has recently attracted the interest of many researchers. Different methodologies have been employed principally to analyze the temporal dynamics of the niche ...
Non-congruent fossil and phylogenetic evidence on the evolution of climatic niche in the Gondwana genus Nothofagus
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016)
AimWe used fossil and phylogenetic evidence to reconstruct climatic niche evolution in Nothofagus, a Gondwana genus distributed in tropical and temperate latitudes. To assess whether the modern distribution of the genus ...
Diversification mechanisms in the Andean grasshopper genus Orotettix (Orthoptera: Acrididae): Ecological niches and evolutionary history
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03)
The Andes harbour an outstanding taxonomic and ecological diversity, for which several mechanisms promoting diversification, including ecological gradients and allopatric speciation, have been cited. The grasshopper genus ...
Ecological and Spatial Patterns Associated with Diversification of the Shrub Genus Tetraglochin along Southern-Central Andes (Rosaceae)
(Springer, 2019-02-26)
In addition to the degree of geographical isolation (sympatry, parapatry, allopatry and peripatry), ecology can be an important factor promoting diversification of lineages, both by niche divergence as well as niche ...
Phylogenetic signal and major ecological shifts in the ecomorphological structure of stream fish in two river basins in Brazil
(Soc Brasileira Ictiologia, 2015-01-01)
We tested the contribution of the phylogenetic and specific components to the ecomorphological structure of stream fish from the upper Paraguai River and upper Sao Francisco River basins, and identified nodes in the ...
Facilitation as a driver of plant assemblages in Caatinga
(Journal of Arid Environments, 2019)
Phylogeny of Neotropical Sicarius sand spiders suggests frequent transitions from deserts to dry forests despite antique, broad-scale niche conservatism
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-11)
Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC) shapes the distribution of organisms by constraining lineages to particular climatic conditions. Conversely, if areas with similar climates are geographically isolated, diversification ...
