Journal ArticleDOI
Comment on "Impacts of the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution and KPg Extinction on Mammal Diversification"
TL;DR: It is shown that Meredith et al.'s own data do not support their objections and that the macroevolutionary patterns from the respective phylogenies are not statistically different.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper used generalised linear mixed-effects models to test the relevance of three sets of factors in plankton identification accuracy: participant-level characteristics (including experience, knowledge of the species) and specimen level characteristics (size,confidence in identification).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of land-use change and related pressures on alien and native subsets of island communities.
Katia Sanchez-Ortiz,Katia Sanchez-Ortiz,Kara J.M. Taylor,Adriana De Palma,Franz Essl,Wayne Dawson,Holger Kreft,Jan Pergl,Petr Pyšek,Mark van Kleunen,Mark van Kleunen,Patrick Weigelt,Andy Purvis,Andy Purvis +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that land-use change reduces both richness and abundance of native species, whereas the number of alien species are high in plantation forests and agricultural or urban sites, and a homogenization pattern for both native and alien assemblages across sites within most land uses is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Diana climbed the ratings at the zoo
TL;DR: Carvell et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the name had a marked effect on the positions of several species (Table 1). Names including words with obvious negative connotations (such as poison, spider, bat) seemed to affect species' rankings adversely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atlas versus range maps: robustness of chorological relationships to distribution data types in European mammals
A. Márcia Barbosa,A. Márcia Barbosa,Alba Estrada,Ana Luz Márquez,Andy Purvis,C. David L. Orme +5 more
TL;DR: A.L.M.B. is supported by a post-doctoral fellowship (SFRH/BPD/40387/2007) from the Portuguese Foundation for Scienceand Technology (FCT), co-financed by the European Social Fund.
