Mammalian phylogenetic diversity-area relationships at a continental scale.
In analogy to the species-area relationship (SAR), one of the few laws in ecology, the phylogenetic diversity-area relationship (PDAR) describes the tendency of phylogenetic diversity (PD) to increase with area. Although investigating PDAR has the potential to unravel the underlying processes shaping assemblages across spatial scales and to predict PD loss through habitat reduction, it has been...
متن کاملCentral Antarctica and implications at a continental scale
19 Under the framework of the GMOS project (Global Mercury Observation System) 20 atmospheric mercury monitoring has been implemented at Concordia Station on the high21 altitude Antarctic plateau (75°06’S, 123°20’E, 3220 m above sea level). We report here the 22 first year-round measurements of gaseous elemental mercury (Hg(0)) in the atmosphere and 23 in snowpack interstitial air on the East A...

متن کاملMitogenomic Phylogenetic Analysis Supports Continental-Scale Vicariance in Subterranean Thalassoid Crustaceans
Many continental subterranean water crustaceans ("stygobionts") display extreme disjunct distributions, where different species in the same genus are isolated on continents or islands separated by broad oceanic expanses. Despite their freshwater habitat, most of these taxa appear to be most closely related to typical marine groups ("thalassoid" origin). Among the hadzioids-thalassoid amphipods ...
متن کاملContinental scale patterns and predictors of fern richness and phylogenetic diversity
Because ferns have a wide range of habitat preferences and are widely distributed, they are an ideal group for understanding how diversity is distributed. Here we examine fern diversity on a broad-scale using standard and corrected richness measures as well as phylogenetic indices; in addition we determine the environmental predictors of each diversity metric. Using the combined records of Aust...
