Calls, colours, shape, and genes: A multi-trait approach to the study of geogra...
Amézquita, Adolfo; Lima, Albertina Pimental; Jehle, Robert; Castellanos, Lina; Ramos, Óscar; Crawford, Andrew J.; Gasser, Herbert; Hödl, WalterEvolutionary divergence in behavioural traits related to mating may represent the initial stage of speciation. Direct selective forces are usually invoked to explain divergence in mate-recognition traits, often neglecting a role for neutral processes or concomitant differentiation in ecological traits. We adopted a multi-trait approach to obtain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind allopatric diverge...
Soil and forest structure predicts large-scale patterns of occurrence and local...
Ferreira, Anthony S.; Jehle, Robert; Stow, Adam J.; Lima, Albertina PimentalThe distribution of biodiversity within the Amazon basin is often structured by sharp environmental boundaries, such as large rivers. The Amazon region is also characterized by subtle environmental clines, but how they might affect the distributions and abundance of organisms has so far received less attention. Here, we test whether soil and forest characteristics are associated with the occurrence and relative...
