Evolutionary ecologists are increasingly combining phylogenetic data with distributional and
ecological data to assess how and why communities of species differ from random …

Bergmann's rule states that individuals of a species/clade at higher altitudes or latitudes will
be larger than those at lower ones. A systemic review of the known literature on inter-and …

Ecological character displacement, mostly seen as increased differences of size in sympatry
between closely‐related or similar species, is a focal hypothesis assuming that species too …

Within the goal of defining indicators (species or combinations of life history traits) for habitat
quality in an urban environment we investigated effects of urbanization on the community …

European honey bees have been introduced across the globe and may compete with native
bees for floral resources. Compounding effects of urbanization and introduced species on …

Questions: Does intraspecific extension of Bergmann's rule-larger size within a species in
cooler areas-hold true for ectotherms in general, and for the common frog (Rana temporaria) …

Morphological traits can be highly variable over time in a particular geographical area.
Different selective pressures shape those traits, which is crucial in evolutionary biology …

Body size differences among coexisting related species are common, but the actual effect of
these differences in mitigating interspecific interactions, such as resource competition and …

A previously unsurveyed calcrete aquifer in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia revealed
an unprecedented diversity of copepods, representing 67% of that previously recorded in …

The Japanese Islands have been largely isolated from the East Asian mainland since the
Early Pleistocene, allowing the diversification of endemic lineages. Here, we explore …
