Abstract Pollination studies in East Asia have been develo** rapidly in recent decades.
East Asia may provide important information on many aspects of plant-pollinator interactions …

Little is known about the insular diversity and its determinants in the freshwater invertebrates
in comparison to land animals. Our goal is to obtain global-scale information on the insular …

Panorpidae is the largest family of Mecoptera with approximately 500 described species in
one extinct and eight extant genera. The phylogeny of Panorpidae was inferred from DNA …

Farmland abandonment is increasing worldwide. Concurrently, some conservationists view
this as an opportunity for biodiversity restoration (ie, rewilding). Due to a lack of data …

Understanding large-scale biodiversity patterns and underlying mechanisms during the
formation process is essential for guiding conservation efforts. However, previous studies on …

Accurate species identification is of primary importance in ecology and evolutionary biology.
For a long time, the unionid mussels Beringiana and Sinanodonta have puzzled researchers …

Aim On the basis of multitaxon biogeographical processes related to region‐specific
geohistory and palaeoclimate, we identified a balanced and area‐effective protected area …

Two of the largest subfamilies of Crambidae, Pyraustinae and Spilomelinae, have 341
species recorded in Japan, but their natural relationships are poorly understood. We …

Dispersal is an important factor that determines the potential for colonization to pioneer sites.
Although most decapods employ seaward migration for reproduction with a planktonic larval …

When gene flow has been restricted between populations, the genetic structure of such
species often reflects geohistory and climate changes. Populations of species inhabiting …
