Tropical forests are both evolutionary cradles and museums of leaf beetle diversity.
The high extant species diversity of tropical lineages of organisms is usually portrayed as a relatively recent and rapid development or as a consequence of the gradual accumulation or preservation of species over time. These explanations have led to alternative views of tropical forests as evolutionary "cradles" or "museums" of diversity, depending on the organisms under study. However, biogeo...
متن کاملTropical mountain cradles of dry forest diversity.
O f all ecosystems in tropical America, seasonally dry forests, patchily distributed where relatively fertile soils, annual rainfall 1,600 mm, and strong seasonal drought coincide, are perhaps the least understood and most endangered (1, 2). Mesoamerican dry forest diversity peaks in southwest Mexico, where up to 16% of tree species are local endemics (3). Judith Becerra, in this issue of PNAS ...
متن کاملPatterns, biases and prospects in the distribution and diversity of Neotropical snakes
Motivation We generated a novel database of Neotropical snakes (one of the world's richest herpetofauna) combining the most comprehensive, manually compiled distribution dataset with publicly available data. We assess, for the first time, the diversity patterns for all Neotropical snakes as well as sampling density and sampling biases. Main types of variables contained We compiled three datab...
متن کاملManaging Geographically Distributed Teams
This paper summarizes recent literature on virtual organizations, as well as Tec-Ed’s practical experience in managing project teams whose members are in different geographic locations, have different skills and responsibilities, and seldom meet face to face. It reviews how we share corporate culture, gain insight into clients, build trust, and develop the professional synergy that enables effi...
متن کاملGeographically Distributed Software Development
Geographically distributed software development holds much promise for increasing market penetration and speeding up development cycles. However, it also comes with a set of new challenges for those developing the software, bought about by the distance among colleagues. This paper outlines a new research project underway to explore those issues and their implications for organizing g eographica...
