The interaction of climate history and evolution impacts alpine biodiversity assembly differently in freshwater and on land

L. Jardim-deQueiroz, C. J. Doenz, F. Altermatt, R. Alther, S. Borko, M. M. Gossner, C. Graham, B. Matthews, I. R. McFadden, L. Pellissier, T. Schmitt, O. M. Selz, S. Villalba, L. Rüber, N. Zimmermann, O. Seehausen

The paper examines how climate history and evolution shaped alpine biodiversity differently in freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, finding distinct patterns of speciation linked to glacial refugia and adaptive radiation.

Dispersal rate and riverine network connectivity shape the genetic diversity of freshwater amphipod metapopulations

R. Alther, E. A. Fronhofer, F. Altermatt

The paper studies how river network connectivity and dispersal rates affect genetic diversity in freshwater amphipod metapopulations, finding dispersal rate is the key factor.
