Pérez‐Navarro, M. Á., J. M. Serra‐Diaz, J. Svenning, M. Á. Esteve‐Selma, J. Hernández‐Bastida, and F. Lloret. 2021. Extreme drought reduces climatic disequilibrium in dryland plant communities. Oikos 130: 680–690. https://doi.org/10.1111/oik.07882
High rates of climate change are currently exceeding many plant species' capacity to keep up with climate, leading to mismatches between climatic conditions and climatic preferences of the species present in a community. This disequilibrium between climate and community composition could diminish, h…
Singhal, S., A. B. Roddy, C. DiVittorio, A. Sanchez‐Amaya, C. L. Henriquez, C. R. Brodersen, S. Fehlberg, and F. Zapata. 2021. Diversification, disparification and hybridization in the desert shrubs Encelia. New Phytologist 230: 1228–1241. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.17212
There are multiple hypotheses for the spectacular plant diversity found in deserts. We explore how different factors, including the roles of ecological opportunity and selection, promote diversification and disparification in Encelia, a lineage of woody plants in the deserts of the Americas. Using a…
Brendel, M. R., F. M. Schurr, and C. S. Sheppard. 2020. Inter‐ and intraspecific selection in alien plants: How population growth, functional traits and climate responses change with residence time A. Ordonez [ed.],. Global Ecology and Biogeography 30: 429–442. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13228
Aim: When alien species are introduced to new ranges, climate or trait mismatches may initially constrain their population growth. However, inter‐ and intraspecific selection in the new environment should cause population growth rates to increase with residence time. Using a species‐for‐time approac…

Premise: Solanaceae is a scientifically and economically important angiosperm family with a minimal fossil record and an intriguing early evolutionary history. Here, we report a newly discovered fossil lantern fruit with a suite of features characteristic of Physalideae within Solanaceae. The fossil…

Aim: Numerous studies have assessed whether species niches are conserved in geographically separated regions. However, most of them were performed on invasive species, with the limitation that such species have likely not yet reached their potential distribution in the invaded region. Here we test t…

Inventories of species recently extinct or threatened with extinction may be found in global databases. However, despite the large number of published fossil based-studies, specific databases on the vulnerability of species in the past are not available. We compiled a worldwide database of published…

Aim: Geographic distributions of mushroom species remain poorly understood despite their importance for advancing our understanding of the habitat requirements, species interactions and ecosystem functions of this key group of organisms. Here, we estimate geographic range extents (maximum within‐spe…

Extreme hydroclimate response gradients within the western Cape Floristic region of South Africa since the Last Glacial Maximum. Quaternary Science Reviews 219: 297–307. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2019.07.006
The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is one of the world's major biodiversity hotspots, and much work has gone into identifying the drivers of this diversity. Considered regionally in the context of Quaternary climate change, climate stability is generally accepted as being one of the major factors promo…

Species occurrence records provide the basis for many biodiversity studies. They derive from georeferenced specimens deposited in natural history collections and visual observations, such as those obtained through various mobile applications. Given the rapid increase in availability of such data, th…
