The Darwinian shortfall in plants: phylogenetic knowledge is driven by range size

نویسندگان

چکیده

The Darwinian shortfall, i.e. the lack of knowledge phylogenetic relationships, significantly impedes our understanding evolutionary drivers global patterns biodiversity. Spatial bias in where some regions is more complete than others, could undermine eco- and biogeographic inferences. Yet, spatial biases for major groups – such as plants remain poorly understood. Using data 337 023 species (99.7%) seed (Spermatophyta), we produced a map based on regional tested several potential observed variation. Regional was defined proportion plant flora represented GenBank's nucleotide database with phylogenetically relevant data. We used simultaneous autoregressive models to explain variation three biodiversity variables (species richness, range size endemism) six socioeconomic representing funding accessibility. compared relationships established Wallacean shortfall (the distributions). found that strongly related macroecological distribution species' sizes. Small-ranged were less likely have data, leading concentration species-rich, tropical countries sizes are small average. Socioeconomic factors important, significant but quantitatively effects accessibility funding. In conclusion, reducing smoothen its will require increased efforts sequence world's small-ranged (endemic) species.

Invasiveness of plants is predicted by size and fecundity in the native range

UNLABELLED An important goal for invasive species research is to find key traits of species that predispose them to being invasive outside their native range. Comparative studies have revealed phenotypic and demographic traits that correlate with invasiveness among plants. However, all but a few previous studies have been performed in the invaded range, an approach which potentially conflates p...

Geographic range size is predicted by plant mating system.

Species' geographic ranges vary enormously, and even closest relatives may differ in range size by several orders of magnitude. With data from hundreds of species spanning 20 genera in 15 families, we show that plant species that autonomously reproduce via self-pollination consistently have larger geographic ranges than their close relatives that generally require two parents for reproduction. ...

The Evaluation of Systemic Risk in the Iran Banking System by Marginal Expected Shortfall (MES) Criterion

Today, Systemic Risk is being analyzed as one of the major issues in financial institutions. Banks are one of the institutions that can be linked to systemic risk based on global experience. Therefore, in the study, we evaluate the systemic risk in the banking system of the country via the marginal expected shortfall (MES) criterion. For the purpose of the present study, 17 banks listed on the ...
