Journal ArticleDOI
The Imprint of Cenozoic Migrations and Evolutionary History on the Biogeographic Gradient of Body Size in New World Mammals
Ignacio Morales-Castilla,Miguel Á. Olalla-Tárraga,Andy Purvis,Bradford A. Hawkins,Miguel Á. Rodríguez +4 more
TL;DR: A role for historical events, such as Cenozoic migrations, in configuring contemporary mammal body size patterns is identified and illustrated to illustrate where these influences have been strongest for New World mammals.
Book ChapterDOI
Reproduction, mating strategies, and sperm competition in marsupials and monotremes
TL;DR: Sperm competition is one of the driving forces that influence testis size and sperm numbers in this group of animals, and for species within the same genus and often family, the data shows similar trends suggesting a phylogenetic influence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring Forest Biodiversity Status and Changes Globally
Samantha L. L. Hill,Samantha L. L. Hill,Andy Arnell,Calum Maney,Stuart H. M. Butchart,Stuart H. M. Butchart,Craig Hilton-Taylor,Carolyn Ciciarelli,Crystal Davis,Eric Dinerstein,Andy Purvis,Andy Purvis,Neil D. Burgess,Neil D. Burgess,Neil D. Burgess +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors link modelled biodiversity values to remotely sensed data on tree cover to develop global maps of forest biodiversity significance (based on the rarity-weighted richness of forest mammal, bird, amphibian and conifer species) and forest biodiversity intactness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are most species small? Not within species-level phylogenies.
TL;DR: It is found that there is little evidence for increased cladogenesis among small–bodied organisms within taxa, and no evidence for any consistent differences between taxa.
