Range state (Biogeography 🌍)

Range state is a term generally used in zoogeography and conservation biology to refer to any nation that exercises jurisdiction over any part of a range which a particular species, taxon or biotope inhabits, or crosses or overflies at any time on its normal migration route. The term is often expanded to also include, particularly in i...

Reactive nitrogen (Biogeochemical cycle 🔄)

Reactive nitrogen, also known as fixed nitrogen, refers to all forms of nitrogen present in the environment except for molecular nitrogen. While nitrogen is an essential element for life on Earth, molecular nitrogen is comparatively unreactive, and must be converted to other chemical forms via nitrogen fixation before i...

Parsimony chloroplast haplotype network for Agrostis (A) species and relatives (Cal = Calamagrostis, Ch = Chaetotropis, La = Lachnagrostis, P = Podagrostis, Poly = Polypogon, Tripl = Triplachne) inferred from rpl32-trnL sequence data. Each link between haplotypes represents one mutational difference. The geographic distribution of haplotypes is as follows: red = North America, orange = South America, light green = Africa, dark green = Asia, blue = Europe, purple = Australia, and pink = East Asia.

Together with colleagues from Palacký University Olomouc, we gathered scattered records of the insect order Zoraptera — one of the least studied insect groups — and compiled it into a global open occurrence dataset using #QGIS, #OpenStreetMap and #rstats.

The dataset now includes 656 records with coordinates and/or area footprint with uncertainty, spanning 1895 to 2024.

Indomalayan realm (Phytogeography 🌱)

The Indomalayan realm is one of the eight biogeographic realms. It extends across most of South and Southeast Asia and into the southern parts of East Asia. Also called the Oriental realm by biogeographers, Indomalaya spreads all over the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia to lowland southern China...

This newly-recognized butterfly species is endemic to a single alluvial fan in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada. This adds to a significant list of isolated species occurrences in and near this small park, including 7 relict freshwater species in upper Waterton Lake, brachypterous lake-dwelling stoneflies, and if memory serves, several plant species. A Wisconsinan ice-free refugium here or nearby?

Bolster heath (Biogeography 🌍)

Bolster heath or cushion moorland is a type of vegetation community that features a patchwork of very low growing, tightly packed plants found at the limits of some alpine environments. The cushion plants form a smooth surfaced 'cushions' from several different plants, hence the common name of cushion heath. The cushion growth habit provides protection against the desiccating wind...

A ce stade, « on ne sait pas si l’année 2025 va continuer sur cette tendance », souligne l’Office français de la biodiversité. La diminution de la diversité génétique, notamment, pourrait « altérer cette dynamique ».

Then we sorted out the conflicts between the #genealogies. Getting a tree or, in this case two capturing different aspects of a genus' #evolution and #differentiation is pretty easy.
Making sense of it, requires quite a bit of activating the "little grey cells" (as Poirot loved to say)
