Sky Islands present unique landscapes for organismal evolution because they comprise
high mountain peaks separated by low valleys with vastly different environmental conditions …

Historical climatic and geological events are largely known to have impacted biome
evolution across the Neotropics and their associated rich biodiversity. However, a clear …

Aim Geographical patterns of montane biodiversity worldwide are related to biotic and
abiotic factors, such as historical climate dynamics and species dispersal capabilities, which …

Mutualistic plant-pollinator interactions play a critical role in the diversification of flowering
plants. The spatiotemporal correlates of such interactions can be understood in a …

Why and how organismal lineages radiate is commonly studied through either assessing
abiotic factors (biogeography, geomorphological processes, and climate) or biotic factors …

Mountains exhibit a high degree of endemism and diversity, however, quantifying their
biodiversity can be challenging. Similar to islands, species isolation in mountainous regions …

Granite-gneiss rock outcrop inselbergs are ancient stable ecosystems with old, climatically-
buffered infertile landscapes (OCBILs). Although inselbergs provide key ecosystem services …

Among one of the largest genera of angiosperms, Peperomia has a Pantropical distribution.
However, studies that analyze the chorological details and conservation status of its species …

The number of described species of Brachycephalus has rapidly increased in the last
