Evolutionary forces affect the distribution of phenotypes both within and among species. Yet,
at the macro‐evolutionary scale, the evolution of intraspecific variance is rarely considered. …

Generating genomic data for 19 tropical reef fish species of the Western Indian Ocean, we
investigate how species ecology influences genetic diversity patterns from local to regional …

The Cretaceous breakup of Gondwana strongly modified the global distribution of shallow
tropical seas reshaping the geographic configuration of marine basins. However, the links …

The role of speciation processes in shaping current biodiversity patterns represents a major
scientific question for ecologists and biogeographers. Hence, numerous methods have been …

Aim The importance of quantifying the contribution of historical processes in shaping current
biodiversity patterns is now recognized, but quantitative approaches that explicitly link …

We develop a spatially explicit model of diversification based on palaeohabitat to explore the
predictions of four major hypotheses potentially explaining the latitudinal diversity gradient (…

Past environmental changes are expected to have profoundly impacted diversity dynamics
through time. While some previous studies showed an association between past climate …

Habitat dynamics interacting with species dispersal abilities could generate gradients in
species diversity and prevalence of species traits when the latter are associated with species …

Popular comparative phylogenetic models such as Brownian Motion, Ornstein-Ulhenbeck,
and their extensions, assume that, at speciation, a trait value is inherited identically by the two …

Aim Biotic interactions are key to understanding the ecology of species and communities.
As such, integrating biotic interactions into ecological niche modelling methods has been a …
