Historical climate modelling predicts patterns of current biodiversity in the Brazilian Atlantic forest
Aim We aim to propose validated, spatially explicit hypotheses for the late Quaternary
distribution of the Brazilian Atlantic forest, and thereby provide a framework for integrating …

High variation and strong phylogeographic pattern among cpDNA haplotypes in Taxus wallichiana (Taxaceae) in China and North Vietnam
We studied the phylogeography of Chinese yew (Taxus wallichiana), a tree species
distributed over most of southern China and adjacent regions. A total of 1235 individuals …

Speciation and radiations track climate transitions since the Miocene Climatic Optimum: a case study of southern African chameleons
Aim The high amount of species diversity concentrated in southern Africa has been
attributed to palaeoclimatic factors, and the timing of radiations in some taxa corresponds to …

Pliocene forest dynamics as a primary driver of African bird speciation
Aim Montane tropics are areas of high endemism, and mechanisms driving this endemism
have been receiving increasing attention at a global scale. A general trend is that climatic …

Response of bird functional diversity to forest product harvesting in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
The ecological impact of forest product harvesting is poorly understood despite the reliance
of millions of impoverished households on forest resources. As birds are indicators of …
