Area is generally assumed to affect speciation rates, but work on the spatial context of has focused mostly patterns range overlap between emerging species rather than questions geographical scale. A variety theories predict that probability occurring within a given region should (1) increase with size and (2) as extent intraspecific gene flow becomes smaller. Using survey events isolated oceanic islands for broad taxa, we find evidence both predictions. The in situ scales island area bats,...
Abstract Islands are ideal for investigating processes that shape species assemblages because they isolated and have discrete boundaries. Quantifying phylogenetic assemblage structure allows inferences about these processes, in particular dispersal, environmental filtering in-situ speciation. Here, we link to island characteristics across 393 islands worldwide 37,041 vascular plant (representing angiosperms overall, palms ferns). Physical bioclimatic factors, especially those impeding...
Species-area relationships (SARs) have mostly been treated from an ecological perspective, focusing on immigration, local extinction and resource-based limits to species coexistence. However, a full understanding across large regions is impossible without also considering speciation global extinction. Rates of both are known be strongly affected by area thus should contribute spatial patterns diversity. Here, we explore how variation in diversification rates ecologically mediated diversity...
Species population genetics could be an important factor explaining variation in clade species richness. Here, we use newly generated amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) data to test whether five pairs of sister clades Costa Rican orchids that differ greatly richness also average neutral genetic differentiation within species, expecting if the strength processes promoting is phylogenetically heritable, then with greater should diversify more. Contrary expectation, does not...
Graphics are becoming increasingly important for scientists to effectively communicate their findings broad audiences, but most researchers lack expertise in visual media. We suggest collaboration between and graphic designers as a way forward discuss the results of pilot project test this type collaboration.
