TL;DR: The 196 parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) will soon agree to a post-2020 global framework for conserving the three elements of biodiversity (genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity) while ensuring sustainable development and benefit sharing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation of metabolism and evaporative water loss along an aridity gradient
TL;DR: Testing the hypotheses that BMR and TEWL are reduced along an aridity gradient within the lark family (Alaudidae), and investigating the role of phylogenetic inertia find a significant phylogenetic effect in mass–corrected data for BMR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetics, biogeography and classification of, and character evolution in, gamebirds (Aves: Galliformes): effects of character exclusion, data partitioning and missing data
Timothy M. Crowe,Timothy M. Crowe,Rauri C. K. Bowie,Paulette Bloomer,Tshifhiwa G. Mandiwana,Terry A. Hedderson,Ettore Randi,Sergio L. Pereira,Julia L. Wakeling +8 more
TL;DR: The combined‐data cladogram supports the hypothesis that basal lineages of galliforms diverged prior to the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K‐T) Event and that the subsequent cladogenesis was influenced by the break‐up of Gondwana.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Speciation in South Atlantic Island Finches
Peter G. Ryan,Paulette Bloomer,Paulette Bloomer,Coleen L. Moloney,Tyron J. Grant,Wayne Delport,Wayne Delport +6 more
TL;DR: This study describes the parallel speciation of finches on two small islands in the Tristan da Cunha archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean and suggests that the buntings have undergone parallel ecological speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and biogeography of the genus Pseudobarbus (Cyprinidae): shedding light on the drainage history of rivers associated with the Cape Floristic Region.
TL;DR: Relationships among the historically isolated lineages of Pseudobarbus were reconstructed using molecular and morphological data, suggesting convergent evolution and homoplasy in some morphological characters.
