Accounting for uncertainty when mapping species distributions: The need for maps of ignorance

TL;DR: In this paper, the main sources of uncertainty are reviewed and a code of good practices is proposed to minimize their effects. But the authors do not consider the effect of the quality and bias of raw distributional data, the process of map building and the dynamic nature of species distributions themselves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Grassland restoration on former croplands in Europe: an assessment of applicability of techniques and costs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the most frequently used restoration techniques (spontaneous succession, sowing seed mixtures, transfer of plant material, topsoil removal and transfer) and techniques used to improve species richness (planting, grazing and mowing) to recover natural-like grasslands from ex-arable lands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convergent evolution of seed dispersal by ants, and phylogeny and biogeography in flowering plants: A global survey

TL;DR: The taxonomic, phylogenetic and biogeographic distribution of myrmecochory in flowering plants is reviewed and it is shown that myrmicochory has evolved in most of the major angiosperm lineages and that it is more frequent in younger families (crown group age) than in older families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ants sow the seeds of global diversification in flowering plants.

TL;DR: Myrmecochory provides the best example to date for a consistent effect of any mutualism on large-scale diversification in angiosperm plants, and diversification rates were substantially higher in ant-dispersed plants than in their non-myRMecochorous relatives.
