Tree species hyperdominance and rarity in the South American Cerrado Open
The South American Cerrado, the largest savanna of the Americas and the world's most tree-biodiverse, is critically endangered, with just 8% protected and more than half deforested. However, the extent of its tree diversity and abundance r…

Environmental sympatry through time: spatio-temporal distribution and conservation status of two sympatric anuran species (Leptodactylidae) in South America Open
Introduction: Leptodactylus latinasus and Physalaemus cuqui are sympatric anuran species with similar environmental requirements and contrasting reproductive modes. Climatic configuration determines distribution patterns and promotes sympa…

Climate Change and Dispersal Ability Jointly Affects the Future Distribution of Crocodile Lizards Open
Crocodile lizards (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) are an endangered, ‘living fossil’ reptile from a monophyletic family and therefore, a high priority for conservation. We constructed climatic models to evaluate the potential impact of climate …

Potential impact of land‐use change on habitat quality in the distribution range of crocodile lizards in China Open
The over‐exploitation of land resources poses a serious threat to biodiversity on a global scale. Changes in land‐use and human exploitation have had a major impact on wild populations and their habitat in China. We assessed how habitat qu…

The same pathway to the Weddell Sea birdlife, after 65 years: similarities in the species composition, richness and abundances Open
As part of a multi-year study of top predators in Antarctica, we conducted a seabird shipbased survey on board Almirante Irizar icebreaker in the Weddell Sea to the Filchner Ice Shelf in the austral summer 2020. We carried out 10-minute co…

Climate Defined but Not Soil-restricted: The Distribution of a Neotropical tree through Space and Time Open
Aims Brosimum rubescens, a tree species with a Neotropical distribution, can achieve local monodominance in Southern Amazonia forests. Understanding how and why this species varies across space and time is important because the monodominan…
