Climate change is likely to impact multiple dimensions of biodiversity. Species range shifts
are expected and may drive changes in the composition of species assemblages. In some …

Aim To test the importance of evolutionary and biogeographical processes in sha** the
assembly of local frog communities in two adjacent regions (hereafter, coastal and inland …

Aim To delineate present‐day zoogeographical regions of terrestrial vertebrates (frogs,
lizards, snakes, birds and non‐volant mammals) in the Atlantic Forest. Within each …

Understanding how assemblages are structured in space and the factors promoting their
distributions is one of the main goals in Ecology, however, studies regarding the distribution …

Aim Mountain systems offer excellent opportunities to understand β‐diversity patterns and
the processes driving them. However, β‐diversity patterns and the underlying mechanisms …

Aim Species distributions are one of the most important ways to understand how
communities interact through macroecological relationships. The functional abilities of a …

Environmental filtering and dispersal limitation are essential processes affecting the
variability of ecological communities. However, their relative contributions are highly …

Aim Patterns of diversity along elevational gradients are driven by species characteristics
but remain poorly understood. Filling this gap is imperative given the deteriorating …

The integration of ecology and historical biogeography is fostering the investigation of
diversity patterns. We studied alpha and beta diversity patterns of Brazilian Atlantic Forest …

La diversidad beta, entendida como cambio en la composición de especies entre sitios, se
suele evaluar con índices de disimilitud basados en el número de especies compartidas y …
