New Research Proves Single Origin Of Humans In Africa
Research has proved the single origin of humans theory by combining studies of global genetic variations in humans with skull measurements across the world.

University Of Florida Discovery Raises Questions About Origin Of African Mammals
"Into Africa" rather than "Out of Africa" could well be the better description of how certain mammals originated and spread across the world

Saving Space: Climate Change Impact on Species Goes Beyond Latitude
According to a recent study in Ecological Monographs, predicting the impact of climate change on organisms is much more complicated than simply looking at species northern and southern range limits.

New solutions to old problems: widespread taxa, redundant distributions and missing areas in event–based biogeography
The present paper presents the argument that only widespread terminals pose a problem to event–based methods, and three possible solutions are described.

Biogeographic and species richness patterns of gastropoda on the Southwestern Atlantic
Patterns of richness and biogeography of Gastropoda molluscs were determined based on lists of species from five sites along the southwestern Atlantic.

The Trichoderma koningii aggregate species
The morphological concept of Trichoderma koningii is found to include several species that differ from each other in details of phenotype (including conidium morphology, growth rate) and biogeography.

Recent transcontinental sweep of Toxoplasma gondii driven by a single monomorphic chromosome
Strains from North America and Europe share distinct genetic polymorphisms that are mutually exclusive from polymorphisms in strains from the south.

Genomics, biogeography, and the diversification of placental mammals
The authors attempted to resolve key uncertainties about the ancient branching pattern of crown placental mammals.

Widespread genetic exchange among terrestrial bacteriophages
A biogeography study involving 25 previously undescribed bacteriophages from the Cystoviridae clade, a group characterized by a dsRNA genome divided into three segments.

Hundreds of thousands of viral species present in the world's oceans
This approach identified tremendous viral diversity with greater than 91% of DNA sequences not present in existing databases.

Molecular biogeography of the Neotropical fish Hoplias malabaricus (Erythrinidae:Characiformes) in the Iguaçu, Tibagi, and Paraná Rivers
The authors analyzed patterns of similarity of RAPD-PCR genomic markers of samples from Paraná, Iguaçu and Tibagi Rivers.

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.

Lost Fish Found - 85 Years Later
It's been lost under the sea for eighty five years - but now it's been found.

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

Cod in a sweat: some like it hot!
Concerns about climate change have led Cefas researchers to investigate whether sea temperature plays an important role in fish distribution

Gondwana biogeography: a phylogenetic approach
(Abstract) Seven phylogenetic data sets using Brooks Parsimony Analysis were analyzed in order to produce a comprehensive hypothesis of the historic relationships among Gondwanan sub-units.
