Mussel farms drive species replacement through ecological drift and dispersal by Cynthia Vásquez, Renato A. Quiñones, Oscar Díaz, Nicolas Rozbaczylo, Jorge Pérez-Schultheiss, Eduardo Hernández-Miranda

“…These results have conservation implications, especially considering that mussel farming in Chile is concentrated in regions with high levels of endemism. Because ecological drift is more pronounced in small communities with low dispersal potential, endemic and rare species are more susceptible to local extinction. …”

One-hectare fine-scale dataset of a fynbos plant community in the Cape Floristic RegionZenodo by Jan-Hendrik Keet, Cang Hui

“…Cape fynbos, which forms part of the Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South Africa, a global biodiversity hotspot, is renowned for its high levels of plant species endemism and diversity. This extraordinary ecosystem, characterised by nutrient-poor soils and fire-adapted vegetation, is a treasure trove of endemic flora. …”

Habitat associations of six‐lined racerunners in longleaf pine managed with a short fire rotation for northern bobwhites by Isaiah W. Samek, Steven J. Price, Theron M. Terhune II, Darin J. McNeil

“…Abstract The longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) savanna ecosystem is an imperiled, fire‐dominated community that supports exceptionally high levels of species richness and endemism. Area of this community has declined by more than 95% due to unsustainable logging, fire suppression, and changes in land‐use practices. …”

Historical biogeography and systematics of yellow-bellied toads (Bombina variegata), with the description of a new subspecies from the Balkans by Christophe Dufresnes, Simeon Lukanov, Sven Gippner, Johanna Ambu, Ilias Strachinis, Dragan Arsovski, Benjamin Monod-Broca, Hugo Cayuela, Petros Lymberakis, Daniele Canestrelli, Dan Cogălniceanu, Nikolay A. Poyarkov, Spartak N. Litvinchuk, Tomasz Suchan, Mathieu Denoël, Daniel Jablonski

“…Abstract The Balkan Peninsula hosts a great proportion of Europe’s biodiversity, and this is well illustrated by amphibian richness and endemism. Among them, the yellow-bellied toad Bombina variegata has been a model in ecology and evolution, but several aspects of its phylogeography and taxonomy remain surprisingly poorly understood. …”

An SEI infection model incorporating media impact by Xuejuan Lu, Shaokai Wang, Shengqiang Liu, Jia Li

“…We define the basic reproductive number $\Re_0$ for the model, and show that the modeled disease dies out regardless of initial infections when $\Re_0 \lt 1$, and becomes uniformly persistently endemic if $\Re_0 \gt 1$. When the disease is endemic and the influence of the media coverage is less than or equal to a critical number, there exists a unique endemic equilibrium which is asymptotical stable provided $\Re_0 $ is greater than and near one. …”
