Taxonomic distinctiveness and phylogenetic variability of amphibians and reptiles in the cloud forest of Mexico

Raciel Cruz-Elizalde et al.

Summary: Cloud forests in Mexico have a high species richness of amphibians and reptiles, with the southern regions of Mexico being particularly diverse. The results of this study provide important information for conservation planners to protect the species richness and phylogenetic diversity in this environment.

A unifying framework for analyzing temporal changes in functional and taxonomic diversity along disturbance gradients

Erin Larson et al.

Summary: Frameworks focusing on functional diversity are gaining popularity, with the inclusion of taxonomic diversity metrics to uncover mechanisms driving species loss following disturbance events. Testing a predictive framework on stream insect communities revealed concordance between multidimensional taxonomic diversity metrics and functional diversity responses, highlighting the importance of considering both taxonomic and functional diversity in understanding disturbance impacts on biodiversity.

A Reexamination of the Herpetofauna of Oaxaca, Mexico: Composition Update, Physiographic Distribution, and Conservation Commentary

Vicente Mata-Silva et al.

Summary: A substantial number of changes have occurred in the composition of the herpetofauna of the Mexican state of Oaxaca in the past five years, resulting in a total of 480 species. The paper also discusses taxonomic and nomenclatural changes, as well as updated patterns of physiographic distribution, endemism, and conservation status of the state herpetofauna.
