Molecular ecology of the fiddler crab Austruca perplexa (H. Milne Edwards, 1852): genetic divergence along a major biogeographical barrier, Wallace's Line

Eko Hardianto et al.

Summary: The study of genetic diversity and population structure in the fiddler crab Austruca perplexa revealed significant barriers to gene flow among populations, possibly due to physical oceanic barriers and a short pelagic larval duration. The results provide a foundation for developing better conservation strategies for this species.

Bird diversity on shelf islands does not benefit from recent land-bridge connections

Yong Chee Keita Sin et al.

Summary: Research on bird species diversity and composition on tropical shelf islands in Southeast Asia found that post-LGM effects on diversity are minimal, with present-day island characteristics such as area, distance to the mainland, and proportion of land surrounding the island within a 10 km radius being more explanatory. Avifaunal diversity is maintained by high immigration rates, especially on small islands, with over-water dispersal limited to short distances among Sundaic birds.

Cryptic sexual dimorphism reveals differing selection pressures on continental islands

Fionn O'Marcaigh et al.

Summary: This study reports sexual dimorphism in the Sulawesi Babbler, highlighting differences in the strength of dimorphism between mainland and continental islands. The findings suggest that evolutionary pressures have led to different niche partitioning in different habitats, which were separated only recently in geological history. The study emphasizes the importance of considering intraspecific niche partitioning to fully understand diverse organisms and systems.

Island songbirds as windows into evolution in small populations

Thibault Leroy et al.

Summary: This study confirms that island species have lower census population sizes and effective population sizes, resulting in lower nucleotide diversity in coding regions, higher ratios of non-synonymous to synonymous polymorphisms, and lower adaptive substitution rates.

Dispersal syndromes drive the formation of biogeographical regions, illustrated by the case of Wallace's Line

Alexander E. White et al.

Summary: Biogeographical regions reflect patterns of co-distributed species in space, with boundaries determined by dispersal barriers and difficulties of establishment in new locations. The study demonstrates the strong turnover between biotas and their contributions to delineating realms, highlighting a dynamic interaction between species' dispersal ability, physiographic barriers, and recent climate change in shaping Earth's biotas.

Wallace's line, Wallacea, and associated divides and areas: history of a tortuous tangle of ideas and labels

Jason R. Ali et al.

Summary: The article discusses the history of defining sharp boundary lines and transition zones in the faunal assemblages of the Indo-Australian Archipelago. Initially proposed strict boundaries became less rigid in subsequent developments, resulting in more diverse and permeable transition zones.

Biotectonics of Sulawesi: Principles, methodology, and area relationships

Bernard Michaux et al.

Summary: Biotectonics is a historical biogeography approach that utilizes independently derived biological and tectonic data to analyze relationships between endemic areas and tectonic history. By combining available data and considering geological and biological composites separately, it is possible to avoid artifacts and interpret general areagrams in the context of current tectonic models.

Avian taxonomy in turmoil: The 7-point rule is poorly reproducible and may overlook substantial cryptic diversity

Frank E. Rheindt et al.

Summary: There are 4 global checklists in the ornithological world as of early 2020, with the HBW/BirdLife checklist implementing Tobias et al.'s 7-point scoring system, which has received mixed reviews. Experimental results showed significant variations in scoring outcomes, casting doubt on claims of high reproducibility of the 7-point rule.

Integrative taxonomy and geographic sampling underlie successful species delimitation

Carla Cicero et al.

Summary: Species delimitation requires a comprehensive assessment of population-level variation using multiple lines of evidence and consideration of how environments affect trait variation. Thorough geographic sampling is essential to accurately represent population-level variation and ensure taxonomic stability.

Evolution in the understorey: The Sulawesi babbler Pellorneum celebense (Passeriformes: Pellorneidae) has diverged rapidly on land-bridge islands in the Wallacean biodiversity hotspot

Fionn O. Marcaigh et al.

Summary: The study conducted comparative analyses on the mitochondrial genes, morphology, and song of the Sulawesi babbler, revealing multiple isolated populations and signs of rapid speciation. Genetic divergence among Sulawesi babbler populations is influenced by their understorey lifestyle and has occurred between Central and Southeast Sulawesi, as well as on land-bridge islands. This research highlights the undocumented biodiversity of a threatened hotspot, showcasing complex processes of speciation interacting with ecology and geology.
