Regional phylogeographical studies involving co‐distributed animal and plant species have
been conducted for several areas, most notably for Europe and the Pacific Northwest of …

Dispersal is a fundamental biological process, operating at multiple temporal and spatial
scales. Despite an increasing understanding of fungal biodiversity, most research on fungal …

No species occurs everywhere. Indeed, the majority are absent from most places, and where
they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these …

Bryophytes include about 20,000 species characterized by their poikilohydric condition, high
long-distance dispersal capacities, and cold tolerance. Despite these specific life-history …

Summary 1 Many authors have suggested that topography and soils are the major
determinants of species distributions and community patterns at small or regional scales, but …

We explore the phylogeny of the polygrammoid ferns using nucleotide sequences derived
from three plastid loci for each of 98 selected species. Our analyses recovered four major …

Humans are facilitating the introduction and range expansion of invasive alien species (IAS),
which have negatively impacted ecological and socio-economic systems worldwide …

1 Field studies to evaluate the roles of environmental variation and random dispersal in
explaining variation in the floristic composition of rain forest plants at landscape to regional …

Aim To test the hypothesis that plant species with a higher dispersal ability have a lower
beta diversity. Location North America north of Mexico. Method Propagules of pteridophytes …

Knowledge of relationships between phylogenetic structure of a biological assemblage and
ecological factors that drive the variation of phylogenetic structure among regions is crucial …
