The future of biogeography, now
The Journal of Biogeography publishes research at the intersection of biology and geography that is scientifically important and of broad general interest. We seek papers describing patterns and revealing mechanisms that shape biodiversity, through time, throughout the planet, from the deep past into the future, and from local to global scales.

ECR Feature: William Nanavati on monkey-puzzle trees and global change
William “Buzz” Nanavati is a postdoc at Portland State University. He is a palaeoecologist and biogeographer, interested in how environmental changes through time affect ecosystems. William shares his recent work on previous climates and land-use change on the dynamics of monkey-puzzle forests in Patagonian. William “Buzz” Nanavati, a monkey-puzzle tree, and a canine companion (EddyContinue reading “ECR Feature: William Nanavati on monkey-puzzle trees and global change”

Caves, biogeography and tiny arachnids
Palpigrades are as precious as pebbles from the Moon … hidden in the deepest fractures of rocks of caves and other kinds of subterranean habitats. Above: A cave-dwelling palpigrade found in an Alpine caves.

From Europe to India – A little investigated route of migratory birds
Overcoming multiple setbacks, and teaming up with researchers from across Europe, finally brought insight into the previously mysterious travels of the common rosefinch. Above: A male common rosefinch equipped with a 0.5 gram light-level geolocator(Photo credit: Benjamin Metzger).. To me, the common rosefinch is still a rather exotic bird species. In the last decades theContinue reading “From Europe to India – A little investigated route of migratory birds”
