Data from: Sympatric serpentine endemic Monardella (Lamiaceae) species mainta...
Ecological differentiation and genetic isolation are thought to be critical in facilitating coexistence between related species, but the relative importance of these phenomena,... -
Data from: Post-glacial recolonization of the North American Arctic by Arctic...
Aims: We investigated post-glacial recolonization of the North American Arctic by Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) and examined potential hybridization between different glacial... -
Data from: Multilocus analysis of nucleotide variation and speciation in thre...
Historical tectonism and climate oscillations can isolate and contract the geographical distributions of many plant species, and they are even known to trigger species... -
Data from: Selfing ability and dispersal are positively related, but not affe...
Dispersal and breeding system traits are thought to affect colonization success. As species have attained their present distribution ranges through colonization, these traits... -
Comprehensive mapping and compositional analysis of the Alca obsidian source,...
The data archive includes compositional and geographic data for geologic samples from the Alca obsidian source in the Peruvian Andes. Compositional data for geologic samples... -
Data from: A multilocus sequencing approach reveals the cryptic phylogeograph...
Discordant phylogeographical patterns among species with similar distributions may not only denote specific biogeographical histories of different species, but also could... -
Data from: Testing range-limit hypotheses using range-wide habitat suitabilit...
Determining the causes of geographic range limits is a fundamental problem in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Range limits arise due to fitness and dispersal... -
Disrupted transportation networks in a plausible megathrust earthquake scenar...
Canada’s West Coast is located near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a region susceptible to high-magnitude earthquakes. The database describes the multi-modal transportation... -
Data from: Morphological and molecular evolution and their consequences for c...
We evaluated geographic variation and subspecific taxonomy in the Le Conte's Thrasher (Toxostoma lecontei) by analyzing DNA sequences from 16 nuclear loci, one mitochondrial DNA... -
Data from: Isotopic niches support the resource breadth hypothesis
Because a broad spectrum of resource use allows species to persist in a wide range of habitat types, and thus permits them to occupy large geographical areas, and because... -
Data from: Are species' range limits simply niche limits writ large? A review...
Many species’ range limits (RL) occur across continuous environmental gradients without obvious barriers imposing them. Such RL are expected to reflect niche limits (NL) and... -
Data from: Unscrambling variation in avian eggshell colour and patterning in ...
The evolutionary drivers underlying marked variation in the pigmentation of eggs within many avian species remains unclear. The leading hypotheses proposed to explain such... -
Data from: Taxon cycle predictions supported by model-based inference in Indo...
Non-equilibrium dynamics and non-neutral processes, such as trait-dependent dispersal, are often missing from quantitative island biogeography models despite their potential... -
Data from: Effects of the landscape on boreal toad gene flow: does the patter...
Understanding the impact of natural and anthropogenic landscape features on population connectivity is a major goal in evolutionary ecology and conservation. Discovery of... -
Data from: Understanding the formation of ancient intertropical disjunct dist...
Numerous taxa show ancient intertropical disjunct distributions. Many can be explained by well-known processes of historical vicariance, such as the breakup of Gondwanaland.... -
Data from: Phylogenetic and morphological investigation of the Mochlus afer-s...
The aridification of Africa resulted in the fragmentation of forests and the expansion of an arid corridor stretching from the northeast to southwest portion of sub-Saharan... -
Data from: The adaptive value of heterospory: evidence from Selaginella
Heterospory was a pivotal evolutionary innovation for land plants, but it has never been clear why it evolved. We used the geographic distributions of 114 species of the... -
Data from: Along the speciation continuum: quantifying intrinsic and extrinsi...
Understanding the relative roles of intrinsic and extrinsic reproductive barriers, and their interplay within the geographic context of diverging taxa, remains an outstanding... -
Data from: Environmental heterogeneity does not affect levels of phenotypic p...
Adaptation of natural populations to variable environmental conditions may occur by changes in trait means and/or in the levels of plasticity. Theory predicts that environmental... -
Data from: Broad-scale trophic shift in the pelagic North Pacific revealed by...
Human-induced ecological change in the open oceans appears to be accelerating. Fisheries, climate change and elevated nutrient inputs are variously blamed, at least in part, for...
