Geographic range limits of species.
Understanding the forms that the geographic range limits of species take, their causes and their consequences are key issues in ecology and evolutionary biology. They are also topics on which understanding is advancing rapidly. This themed issue of Proc. R. Soc. B focuses on the wide variety of current research perspectives on the nature and determinants of the limits to geographic ranges. The ...
متن کاملGeographic range size and extinction risk assessment in nomadic species
Geographic range size is often conceptualized as a fixed attribute of a species and treated as such for the purposes of quantification of extinction risk; species occupying smaller geographic ranges are assumed to have a higher risk of extinction, all else being equal. However many species are mobile, and their movements range from relatively predictable to-and-fro migrations to complex irregul...
متن کاملGenetics and Conservation of Plant Species of Extremely Narrow Geographic Range
The endemic plant species with extremely narrow geographical range (<100 km2) often have few populations of small size and tend to be more vulnerable to extinction by genetic drift and inbreeding effects. For these species, we tested if intraspecific genetic diversity can be applied to identify conservation priorities. The biological model was Mammillaria albiflora—a Mexican cactus that numbers...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of HSP70 gene of Aspergillus fumigatus reveals conservation intra-species and divergence inter-species
Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophyte fungus, widely spread in a variety of ecologicalniches and the most prevalent aspergilli responsible for human and animal invasiveaspergillosis. The first step to develop novel and efficient therapies is the identificationand understanding of the key tolerance and virulence factors of pathogens. The mainfocus of the present study is to perform the similarit...
متن کاملLinking Models of Species Occurrence and Landscape Reconstruction
Ecologists and land managers around the world are charged with first arresting and then reversing declines in native species. Revegetation has been proposed as one of the mechanisms by which landscapes can be rehabilitated to support viable populations of native wildlife. Because large-scale revegetation often proves to be technically difficult and costly, it is critical to evaluate the likely ...
