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 …

The origin, distribution, and function of biological diversity are fundamental themes of
ecology and evolutionary biology. Research on birds has played a major role in the history …

Mountain ranges harbour exceptionally high biodiversity, which is now under threat from
rapid environmental change. However, despite decades of effort, the limited availability of …

The “multispecies” coalescent (MSC) model that underlies many genomic species-
delimitation approaches is problematic because it does not distinguish between genetic …

Emerging large-scale datasets coupled with statistical advances have provided new insights
into the processes that generate the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG). But many of these …

The unparalleled biodiversity found in the American tropics (the Neotropics) has attracted
the attention of naturalists for centuries. Despite major advances in recent years in our …

Large Amazonian rivers impede dispersal for many species, but lowland river networks
frequently rearrange, thereby altering the location and effectiveness of river barriers through …

It is often claimed that conserving evolutionary history is more efficient than species‐based
approaches for capturing the attributes of biodiversity that benefit people. This claim …

Motivation Theory describing biodiversity gradients has focused on species richness with
less conceptual synthesis outlining expectations for intraspecific diversity gradients, that is …

An implicit assumption of speciation biology is that population differentiation is an important
stage of evolutionary diversification, but its significance as a rate-limiting control on …
