Organisms use color to serve a variety of biological functions, including camouflage, mate attraction and thermoregulation. The potential adaptive role of color is often investigated by examining patterns of variation across geographic, habitat and life‐history gradients. This approach, however, presents a data collection trade‐off whereby researchers must either maximize intraspecific detail or taxonomic...
The distribution ranges and spatio‐temporal patterns in the occurrence and activity of boreal bats are yet largely unknown due to their cryptic lifestyle and lack of suitable and efficient study methods. We approached the issue by establishing a permanent passive‐acoustic sampling setup spanning the area of Finland to gain an understanding on how latitude affects bat species composition and activity...
Delineating biogeographical regions can provide important insights into the processes shaping large‐scale species distribution patterns. Here we aimed to 1) identify global marine benthic biogeographical regions for ophiuroids extending from shallow waters to the deep sea and 2) quantify the importance of contemporary environmental conditions and geological features in shaping the delineated biogeographical...
Diversity metrics are widely used to better understand biodiversity patterns and help with species conservation. Taxonomic diversity alone may lack valuable information on community ecology, such as the importance of species to ecosystem functioning and evolutionary history. By combining taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity, we can complement our knowledge, particularly under climate...
