The field of molecular ecology has expanded enormously in the past two decades, largely
because of the growing ease with which neutral molecular genetic data can be obtained …

The south‐western land division of Western Australia (SWWA), bordering the temperate
Southern and Indian Oceans, is the only global biodiversity hotspot recognised in Australia …

Aim To synthesize the species distribution modelling (SDM) literature to inform which
variables have been used in MaxEnt models for different taxa and to quantify how frequently …

Background The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys
(Stål)(Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), native to Asia, is becoming an invasive species with a …

While traditionally species recognition has been based solely on morphological differences
either typological or quantitative, several newly developed methods can be used for a more …

Based on the environmental variables that associated with species' occurrence records,
ecological niche modeling (ENM) seeks to characterize environmental conditions suitable …

The underlying mechanisms responsible for the general increase in species richness from
temperate regions to the tropics remain equivocal. Many hypotheses have been proposed to …

Abstract Gonipterus scutellatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), once thought to be a single
species, is now known to reside in a complex of at least eight cryptic species. Two of these …

Aim Diversification and rapid radiation are well documented in lacertid lizards. Niche
conservation is frequently observed among related taxa, whereby niches will not change …

Various DNA sequence-based methods for species delineation have recently been
developed to assess the species-richness of highly diverse, neglected invertebrate taxa …
