Niche differentiation is a key stabilizing mechanism in the maintenance of biodiversity and species coexistence. Recent work shows that trophic niche partitioning between parrotfishes (Labridae: Scarini) is more extensive than previously described. One Indo-Pacific species,Scarus spinus, appears highly sp...
These results suggest an important role for geographic isolation in the emergence of species barriers, by facilitating local adaptation and differentiation in the absence of homogenizing gene flow.EatonCommittee on Evolutionary BiologyDeren A. R.
Molecular taxonomy studies and barcoding projects can provide rapid means of detecting cryptic diversity. Nevertheless, the use of molecular data for species delimitation should be undertaken with caution. Especially the single-gene approaches are l
In 2015–2016, Zika virus (ZIKV) caused serious epidemics in Brazil. The key epidemiological parameters and spatial heterogeneity of ZIKV epidemics in different states in Brazil remain unclear. Early prediction of the final epidemic (or outbreak) size fo
has relatively high panda presence (Figures 1andS2), is the key area to connect the central populations of the giant panda in Qionglai Mountains and Daxiangling Mountains. However, because of road construction (Figure S1) and various human infrastructures, habitat fragmentation, and isolation are ...

To analyze the impact of management choices on diversity in Pyrenean forests, we selected two ecological indicators: springtails; indicators of long-term responses to perturbation, and moths; which respond quickly to changes in their environment. Our data show that monoculture has a short-term impact...
The article is devoted to the integrated interdisciplinary study of multiple aspects of the conceptosphere of the Arctic and the North and its representation in the collective consciousness of Russian students. The purposes of this paper are to examine t
Different islands have different species of tortoises that have adapted to their specific environments. Hint: Think about how species can evolve differently based on geographic isolation. 4. Evolution of Man: While the evolution of humans involves various adaptations, it is not typically classified as...
Pattern of distribution of the species within its geographic range According to Lions (1996, p. 58), different lion species are found in different environments depending on the geographical region. However, Africa is commonly known to harbor many lion species, their distribution pattern vary from ...
