Temporal dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 phylogenetic diversity in Central Brazil reveals evolutionary shifts among variants of concern during the pandemic Open
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to substantial health, economic, and social impacts worldwide, and now, after more than 5 years since the start of the pandemic, it is possible to retrospectively evaluate patterns of SARS-CoV-2 spread and its…

Biodiversity Patterns Redefined in Environmental Space Open
Ecological and evolutionary questions addressing diversity‐environment relationships have been evaluated almost entirely in geographic space, yet most hypotheses are formulated in terms of environmental conditions. Recent examples evaluati…

‘treesliceR': a package for slicing phylogenies and inferring phylogenetic patterns over evolutionary time Open
Phylogenetic indexes summarize the evolutionary information within a given assemblage pool based on the topology and branch lengths of a hypothesized phylogenetic tree. However, different historical contingencies experienced by these assem…

Evolutionary macroecology: Incorporating phylogenetic information more explicitly into process-based, forward time, simulation models Open
A bstract A conceptual and mechanistic approach for bridging the fields of macroecology (ecological biogeography) and historical biogeography has been a long-term aim in Evolutionary Biology. Such a bridge could increase our understanding …

<span>PALEO‐PGEM‐Series</span>: A spatial time series of the global climate over the last 5 million years (<span>Plio‐Pleistocene</span>) Open
Motivation Climate change plays an important role in the generation and maintenance of biodiversity by driving processes such as diversification and range shifts. As a result, biodiversity patterns are often found to carry the imprints of …

Evolutionary rescue and geographic range shifts under climate change for global amphibians Open
By the end of this century, human-induced climate change and habitat loss may drastically reduce biodiversity, with expected effects on many amphibian lineages. One of these effects is the shift in the geographic distributions of species w…

Landscape dynamics and diversification of the megadiverse South American freshwater fish fauna Open
Landscape dynamics are widely thought to govern the tempo and mode of continental radiations, yet the effects of river network rearrangements on dispersal and lineage diversification remain poorly understood. We integrated an unprecedented…

Exceptions to the rule: Relative roles of time, diversification rates and regional energy in shaping the inverse latitudinal diversity gradient Open
Aim Inverse latitudinal diversity gradients (i‐LDGs), whereby regional richness peaks outside the tropics, have rarely been investigated, and their causes remain unclear. Here, we investigate three prominent explanations, postulating that …

Area, isolation and climate explain the diversity of mammals on islands worldwide Open
Insular biodiversity is expected to be regulated differently than continental biota, but their determinants remain to be quantified at a global scale. We evaluated the importance of physical, environmental and historical factors on mammal …

Are Temperature Suitability and Socioeconomic Factors Reliable Predictors of Dengue Transmission in Brazil? Open
Dengue is an ongoing problem, especially in tropical countries. Like many other vector-borne diseases, the spread of dengue is driven by a myriad of climate and socioeconomic factors. Within developing countries, heterogeneities on socioec…

Using maps of biogeographical ignorance to reveal the uncertainty in distributional data hidden in species distribution models Open
Species distribution models (SDMs) are subject to many sources of uncertainty, limiting their application in research and practice. One of their main limitations is the quality of the distributional data used to calibrate them, which direc…
