Projected Climate Change Effects on Nuthatch Distribution and Diversity Across Asia
TL;DR: The authors used ecological niche modeling approaches to explore climate change implications for one family of birds, the Sittidae, in Asia and found that the potential distributional areas tended to retract along their southern fringes, and at lower elevations along mountain ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
speciesLink: rich data and novel tools for digital assessments of biodiversity
Dora Ann Lange Canhos,Eduardo A. B. Almeida,Ana Lúcia Delgado Assad,Mercedes Maria da Cunha Bustamante,Vanderlei Perez Canhos,Arthur D. Chapman,Renato De Giovanni,Vera Lúcia Imperatriz-Fonseca,Lúcia G. Lohmann,Leonor Costa Maia,Joseph T. Miller,Gil Nelson,A.

TL;DR: The authors in this article reviewed the importance and contributions of speciesLink as a major source of biodiversity information for research, education, informed decision-making, policy development, and bioeconomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rethinking phylogeographic structure and historical refugia in the rufous-capped babbler Cyanoderma ruficeps in light of range-wide genetic sampling and paleodistributional reconstructions
TL;DR: Phylogeographic structure is more complex than previously appreciated; niche model projections to Last Glacial Maximum climate scenarios identified larger areas of suitable conditions than previous studies, but potential distributional limits differed markedly between climate models employed and were dependent upon inter-analogous historical climate scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI
An extensive molecular phylogeny of weaverbirds (Aves: Ploceidae) unveils broad nonmonophyly of traditional genera and new relationships
TL;DR: It is suggested that plumage traits and morphology exhibit high plasticity, such that phenotype does not always reflect phylogenetic relationships in weaverbirds, which lays a firm foundation for downstream studies of biogeography and character evolution.
