The rapidly emerging field of macrogenetics focuses on analysing publicly accessible
genetic datasets from thousands of species to explore large-scale patterns and predictors of …

Transition zones are problematic in biogeographical classification as they represent artificial
biotic areas. A review of transition zones into existing biogeographical classifications shows …

A foundational paradigm in biological and Earth sciences is that our planet is divided into
distinct ecoregions and biomes demarking unique assemblages of species. This notion has …

A biogeographical regionalization is a hierarchical system that categorizes geographical
areas in terms of their biotas. I provide a general protocol to undertake biogeographical …

An interim hierarchical classification (ie biogeographical regionalisation or area taxonomy)
of the world's terrestrial regions is provided, following the work of Morrone published in …

Alexander von Humboldt's Tableau Physique (1807) has been one of the most influential
diagrams in the history of environmental sciences. In particular, detailed observations of the …

We provide a map of the 15 biogeographic provinces of Argentina based on the ecoregions
recognized for the country, combining climatic, geological and biotic criteria. Argentinean …

We provide a preliminary nomenclatural proposal and a digital map of the Nearctic region,
based on published regionalizations, especially Dice (1943), and applying the International …

Aim Most protist plankton are mixotrophic, with potential to engage in photoautotrophy and
phagotrophy; however, the ecology of these organisms has been misdiagnosed for over a …

This study proposes a biogeographical regionalisation of Colombia based on geospatial
analyses of plant species turnover and a revised area taxonomy. The spatial patterns of …
