      Nakadai, Ryosuke; Nyman, Tommi; Hashimoto, Koya; Iwasaki, Takaya; Valtonen, Anu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-08-17)
      Aim It is generally assumed that the degree of resource specialization in herbivorous insects increases towards lower latitudes. However, latitudinal patterns in herbivore diet breadth at large spatial scales remain poorly ...
    • The impact of rainforest area reduction in the Guineo-Congolian region on the tempo of diversification and habitat shifts in the Berlinia clade (Leguminosae) 

      de la Estrella, Manuel; Cervantes, Sandra; Janssens, Steven B.; Forest, Félix; Hardy, Olivier J.; Alayon, Dario Isidro Ojeda (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-29)
      Aim: The Guineo‐Congolian region in Africa constitutes the second largest area of tropical rainforest (TRF) in the world. It covered an estimated 15–22 million km2 during the late Miocene (55–11 Ma) and it has experienced ...

      Aim Species–area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power laws best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes ...
