Integrative taxonomy clarifies the evolution of a cryptic primate clade
Elst, Tobias van; Sgarlata, Gabriele M.; Schüßler, Dominik; Tiley, George P.; Poelstra, Jelmer W.; Scheumann, Marina; Blanco, Marina B.Global biodiversity is under accelerating threats, and species are succumbing to extinction before being described. Madagascar’s biota represents an extreme example of this scenario, with the added complication that much of its endemic biodiversity is cryptic. Here we illustrate best practices for clarifying cryptic diversification processes by presenting an integrative framework that leverages multiple lines o...

Moving in the Anthropocene: Global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements
Tucker, Marlee A.; Boehning-Gaese, Katrin; Fagan, William F.; Fryxell, John M.; Van Moorter, Bram; Alberts, Susan C.; Ali, Abdullahi H.Made available in DSpace on 2018-11-26T17:44:52Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-01-26; Robert Bosch Foundation; Animal movement is fundamental for ecosystem functioning and species survival, yet the effects of the anthropogenic footprint on animal movements have not been estimated across species. Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, we found that move...
