Plate Tectonics, Seaways and Climate in the Historical Biogeography of Mammals
The marsupial and placental mammals originated at a time when the pattern of geographical barriers (oceans, shallow seas and mountains) was very different from that of today, and climates were warmer.

Biogeography of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Ecuador: Implications for the Design of Control Strategies
The authors analysed the data in relation to the life zones where triatomines occur (11 life zones, excluding those over 2,200 m altitude), and provide biogeographical maps for each species.

Vanished super-ocean or expanding Earth?
This geological and biogeographic evidence is not consistent with the plate tectonic hypothesis of a now-vanished, pre-Pacific super-ocean, Panthalassa.

Changes to insect-seeking calls of horseshoe bats may drive new species formation
It may not matter whether there is a mountain high enough or a river wide enough to keep members of a species apart.

Evidence human activities have shaped large-scale ecological patterns
A study provides some of the first evidence that ecological patterns at large spatial scales have been significantly altered within recent human history suggesting a role for human activities as potential drivers.

Carnivore extinction risk determined more by biology than human population density, says study
Carnivores around the world are more at risk of extinction due to their own intrinsic biological attributes than from an increasing human population with whom they share their space

Linking biogeography to physiology: Evolutionary and acclimatory adjustments of thermal limits
Studies performed with a taxonomically varied group of aquatic ectotherms that shed light on several questions related to the roles played by physiological adaptations in setting species' distribution patterns.
