Ecological and historical filters constraining spatial caddisfly distribution in Mediterranean rivers
1. Contemporary species distributions are determined by a mixture of ecological and historical filters acting on several spatial and temporal scales. Mediterranean climate areas are one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots with a high level of endemicity, which is linked to complex ecological and historical factors. 2. This paper explores the ecological and historical factors constraining the d...
متن کاملHistorical and ecological drivers of the spatial pattern of Chondrichthyes species richness in the Mediterranean Sea
Chondrichthyes, which include Elasmobranchii (sharks and batoids) and Holocephali (chimaeras), are a relatively small group in the Mediterranean Sea (89 species) playing a key role in the ecosystems where they are found. At present, many species of this group are threatened as a result of anthropogenic effects, including fishing activity. Knowledge of the spatial distribution of these species i...
متن کاملHistorical changes in the distribution and functions of large wood in Puget Lowland rivers
We examined changes in wood abundance and functions in Puget Lowland rivers from the last ~150 years of land use by comparing field data from an 11-km-long protected reach of the Nisqually River with field data from the Snohomish and Stillaguamish rivers and with archival data from several Puget Lowland rivers. Current wood abundance is one to two orders of magnitude less than before European s...
متن کاملEcological distribution of four co-occurring Mediterranean heath species
Erica australis, E. scoparia, E. arborea and Calluna 6ulgaris are the most abundant heath species on acid, sandstone-derived soils of the Strait of Gibraltar region (southern Spain and northern Morocco). Despite their apparently similar ecological requirements, these four species are somewhat ecologically segregated. Erica australis is abundant only on poor, shallow soils, with a high content i...
متن کاملPlant-Vertebrate Seed Dispersal Systems in the Mediterranean: Ecological, Evolutionary, and Historical Determinants
Investigations vertebrate seed dispersal systems in the Mediterranean show that extremely efficient plant-disperser mutualisms donot require, and thus are not evidence for, mutual evolutionary adjustments of participants. Current Mediterranean dispersal systems have apparently been shaped by means of 1. trophic and behavioral daptations of birds morphologically preadapted to pre-existing plant ...
