Abstract:

Here, we describe a new species of Eusarcus and reconstruct the geographical evolution of its species group based on biogeographical event-based analysis. Eusarcus dandara sp. nov. has been recorded from Alagoas state, in northeastern Brazil, which represents an important range extension of the genus to the northern Atlantic Rainforest. We performed a cladistic morphological analysis based on new data and data from a previous systematic review of the genus to reconstruct the phylogenetic placement of the new species. This analysis resulted in six most parsimonious cladograms. We performed the

Abstract:

Downscaled paleoclimate datasets are widely used in biogeographical research, aiding our understanding of past environmental shifts and species' responses to climate change. Numerous datasets exist, varying in spatiotemporal resolution and underlying methodologies, resulting in variation in estimated temperature. Understanding this variability is important for accurately reconstructing past biogeographical dynamics, especially in complex regions like mountains. We compare the Mean Annual Temperature (MAT) at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) from five different downscaled paleoclimate datasets —

Abstract:

Nothofagus is an ancient genus with a distribution that has attracted considerable interest from biogeographers. The lack of consensus among biogeographical reconstructions is probably due to emphasis being placed solely or largely on the living species. Nothofagus had a much greater distribution and diversity in the past than it has now; this makes it difficult to reconstruct its history from living species’ interrelationships and distribution. Unfortunately, the fossil record is difficult to interpret, and contains many records that convey no useful information or possibly even misinformatio

Abstract This study integrates biogeographical and phylogenetic data to determine the evolutionary history of the New World Dermacentor, and the origin of D. variabilis. The phylogenetic reconstructions presented here strongly support the hypothesis of an Afrotropical origin for Dermacentor, with later dispersal to Eurasia and the Nearctic. Phylogenetic and biogeographical data suggest that the genus reached the New World through the Beringia land bridge, from south-east Asia. The monophyly of the genus is supported, and most of the New World Dermacentor species appear as monophyletic. Dermace

Suspect terranes in western North America and northeastern Siberia contain Permian taxa which were endemic to the Tethyan region. According to one hypothesis, the rocks containing these faunas were transported across the Paleopacific Ocean by plate motion during the Mesozoic.

A third hypothesis attributes their presence in North America to dispersal through a marine corridor between the Tethys and Paleopacific oceans. Trend-surf

Here we will review recent progress in research on phylogenetic relationships, evolution, ecology, and speciation in alpine willows.

As such, faunal groups that emerged during the Paleogene/Neogene period and have species distributed in both forest and savanna habitat should show a genetic signature of the possible evolutionary impact of these biome developments.

However, species diversity within this family remains underestimated. It refers to both subtropical and tropical areas of different continents that have traditionally been less studied compared with Central Europe and some other Palaearctic regions. In addition to this, only a restricted set of morphological characteristics is used for the discrimination of species within the genus Moina Baird, 1850. Most common moinid

Abstract:

Although there is a generally accepted framework for the Permian marine biogeography of Australia, significant uncertainties remain concerning the temporal biogeographical changes closely related to the timing of Permian glacial–interglacial events. Several recent studies along these research lines demonstrate the importance of a reliable high-resolution biostratigraphical timescale for paleobiogeographical and paleoclimatic reconstructions. This paper provides, for the first time, a full taxonomic and biostratigraphical study of the brachiopod fauna from the Wasp Head Formation, southern Sydn

Abstract:

We present the first major survey of regional diversity, distribution and host-association of Sepedonium. Whereas the rather scarce worldwide records of this mycoparasitic fungus suggested no specific distribution pattern of most species before, we provide new evidence of endemic and specific host-parasite guilds of Sepedonium in Southern South America, including the description of a new species. The corresponding inventory was performed in temperate central Chile. The regional landscape, a mosaic of exotic timber plantations and remnants of native Nothofagus forests, facilitates a unique comb

AbstractCretaceous aquatic ecosystems were amazingly diverse, containing most clades of extant aquatic vertebrates as well as an array of sharks and rays not present today. Here we report on the chondrichthyan fauna from the late Maastrichtian site that yielded the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton FMNH PF 2081 (“SUE”). Significant among the recovered fauna is an unidentified species of carcharhinid shark that adds to the fossil record of this family in the Cretaceous, aligning with estimates from molecular evidence of clade originations. Additionally, a new orectolobiform shark, here named Galagadon

We review the expanding role of molecular genetics in the emergence of a vibrant and vital integrative biogeography. The enormous growth over the past several decades in the number and variety of molecular-based phylogenetic and population genetics studies has become the core information used by biogeographers to reconstruct the causal connections between historical evolutionary and ecological attributes of taxa and biotas, and the landscapes and seascapes that contain them. A proliferation of different approaches, sequences, and genomes have provided for the integration of a `biogeography of

Abstract:

The concept of ‘Gondwana’, an ancient Southern Hemisphere supercontinent, is firmly established in geological and biogeographical models of Earth history. The term Gondwana (Gondwanaland of some authors) derives from the recognition by workers at the Indian Geological Survey in the mid- to late 19th century of a distinctive sedimentary sequence preserved in east central India. This succession, now known to range in age from Permian to Cretaceous, is lithologically and palaeontologically similar to coeval non-marine sedimentary successions developed in most of the Southern Hemisphere continents
