Spatial diversity patterns of Pristimantis frogs in the Tropical Andes
Although biodiversity gradients have been widely documented, the factors governing broad-scale patterns in species richness are still a source of intense debate and interest in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Here, we tested whether spatial hypotheses (species-area effect, topographic heterogeneity, mid-domain null model, and latitudinal effect) explain the pattern of diversity ob...
متن کاملEarly deglaciation in the tropical Andes.
Tropical Andes The record of ancient glaciers is the principal source of information on high-altitude paleoclimate in the tropics, but the age of late Pleistocene glaciation throughout the tropics is poorly constrained, which complicates estimating past climate from glacial records. Seltzer et al. (1) established that maximum late Pleistocene glaciation in the tropical Andes was broadly synchro...
متن کاملSpatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity
Ecologists and conservation biologists have historically used species-area and distance-decay relationships as tools to predict the spatial distribution of biodiversity and the impact of habitat loss on biodiversity. These tools treat each species as evolutionarily equivalent, yet the importance of species' evolutionary history in their ecology and conservation is becoming increasingly evident....
متن کاملSpatial patterns in the distribution of tropical tree species.
Fully mapped tree census plots of large area, 25 to 52 hectares, have now been completed at six different sites in tropical forests, including dry deciduous to wet evergreen forest on two continents. One of the main goals of these plots has been to evaluate spatial patterns in tropical tree populations. Here the degree of aggregation in the distribution of 1768 tree species is examined based on...
متن کاملClimate change. Threats to water supplies in the tropical Andes.
to emphasize those measurements of our local astrophysical laboratory that will best illuminate how these fundamental cosmic entities operate. Moreover, observations to date already indicate that the Saturn system is literally changing before our eyes. We anticipate that even more dramatic transformations in our neighborhood's astrophysical laboratory will be monitored by Cassini's instruments ...
