Lakes and ponds are scattered on Earth's surface as islands in the ocean. The organisms
inhabiting these ecosystems have thus developed strategies to pass the barrier represented …

During 25 surveys of global Phytophthora diversity, conducted between 1998 and 2020, 43
new species were detected in natural ecosystems and, occasionally, in nurseries and …

We present the first dated higher-level phylogenetic and biogeographic analysis of the
butterfly family Riodinidae. This family is distributed worldwide, but more than 90% of the c …

During extensive surveys of global Phytophthora diversity 14 new species detected in
natural ecosystems in Chile, Indonesia, USA (Louisiana), Sweden, Ukraine and Vietnam …

Tropical and subtropical amphi-Pacific disjunction is among the most fascinating distribution
patterns, but received little attention. Here we use the fossil-rich Cinnamomum group, a …

We present the first faunistic report on the Laotian Cladocera from diverse habitats in
Vientiane province, Central Laos. We counted a total of 70 species, belonging to 37 genera …

Aim Multiple biogeographical scenarios involving vicariance and different colonization
routes can explain disjunct species distributions in the Southern Hemisphere. Here, we …

Freshwater surveys in the tropics have high potential for revealing new taxa if a wide range
of habitats is included. Tropical inland swamps are ignored during most zooplankton …

The origin of biodiversity in the Neotropics predominantly stems either from Gondwana
breakup or late dispersal events from the Nearctic region. Here, we investigate the …

An identification key for Cladocera of subfamily Aloninae (Anomopoda: Chydoridae) of
South-East Asia is provided. The key includes 42 species known from the region to date …
