Differential Dominance of Ecological Processes Shapes the Longhorn Beetle Community in Tropical Rainforests and Temperate Forests of Southwest China by Fang Luo, Tial C. Ling, Jacob D. Wickham, Farkhanda Bibi, Ana Gouveia

“…Conversely, the more homogenous tropical rainforests exhibited stochastic processes that enhanced Cerambycidae diversity and plant–beetle interactions. (4) Conclusions: Our findings underscore that environmental heterogeneity, dispersal limitations, and host-specificity are pivotal in shaping biodiversity patterns in Cerambycidae, with significant variations across climatic zones.…”

Impact of persistent barrier to gene flow and catastrophic events on red algae evolutionary history along the Chilean coast by Oscar R. Huanel, Oscar R. Huanel, Oscar R. Huanel, Alejandro E. Montecinos, Francisco Sepúlveda-Espinoza, Marie-Laure Guillemin, Marie-Laure Guillemin, Marie-Laure Guillemin, Marie-Laure Guillemin

“…Historical vicariance events, linked to the existence of stable physical barriers to gene flow, generate concordant genetic breaks in co-distributed species while stochastic processes (e.g., costal uplift) could cause species-specific genetic breaks as a result of local strong demographic bottlenecks or extinction. …”

“…Deterministic processes, especially homogeneous selection, tended to be more important in the community assembly of AT, whereas the community assembly of RT was mainly controlled by stochastic processes. This study expanded our knowledge of the karst groundwater microbiome and was of great significance to the assessment of ecological stability and drinking water safety in karst regions.…”
