Historical biogeography and climatic niche dynamics in spiny lizards of the genus <i>Sceloporus</i> (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae) Open
Although we now have extensive biogeographical datasets for tetrapods, unravelling the drivers of species’ distributions remains challenging, especially for many squamate groups. Spiny lizards of the genus Sceloporus exemplify this knowled…

Global analysis of the influence of environmental variables to explain ecological niches and realized thermal niche boundaries of sea snakes Open
Understanding the factors affecting species distributions is a central topic in ecology and biogeography. However, most research on this topic has focused on species inhabiting terrestrial environments. At broad scales, abiotic variables c…

Neighbor Density and Post‐Contact Immobility Duration as Antipredator Behavior: Antlion Larvae Do Not Fit the Selfish Prey Hypothesis Open
Remaining immobile for an unpredictable period after being touched by a potential predator (post‐contact immobility, PCI) may favor survival. However, the factors that determine variation in PCI duration are poorly understood. We tested wh…

Exploring the causes underlying the latitudinal variation in range sizes: Evidence for Rapoport’s rule in spiny lizards (genus Sceloporus) Open
Species’ range size is a fundamental unit of analysis in biodiversity research, given its association with extinction risk and species richness. One of its most notable patterns is its positive relationship with latitude, which has been co…

An exhaustive evaluation of modeling ecological niches above species level to predict marine biological invasions Open
Identifying the areas of the world with suitable environmental conditions for the establishment of invasive species represents a fundamental basis for preventing their impacts. One of the most widely used tools for this is ecological niche…

Estimating geographic patterns of ophidism risk in Ecuador Open
The species richness of venomous snakes in Ecuador (~39 species) is among the highest in the world. However, until now no information exists regarding geographic patterns of ophidism. In this study, we present a detailed spatial snakebite …
