Character displacement of song and morphology in African tinkerbirds
(2009)Divergence in acoustic signals between populations of animals can lead to species recognition failure, reproductive isolation, and speciation. Character displacement may facilitate coexistence of species in natural ...

From plots to islands: Species diversity at different scales
(2012)Aim To investigate how plant diversity of whole islands ('gamma') is related to alpha and beta diversity patterns among sampling plots within each island, thus exploring aspects of diversity patterns across scales. Location ...

Testing alternative hypotheses for evolutionary diversification in an african songbird: Rainforest refugia versus ecological gradients
(2011)Geographic isolation in rainforest refugia and local adaptation to ecological gradients may both be important drivers of evolutionary diversification. However, their relative importance and the underlying mechanisms of ...
