Curvilinear interspecific density-range size relationship in small mammals in Finland

2013

ABSTRACTAim Macroecological patterns have mainly been depicted as atemporal, withexisting research covering only short time periods. One fundamental pattern inmacroecology is the interspecific relationship between local abundance andregional range size, which is generally considered to be positively linear. Here,we examine structural details of the relationship between abundance and rangesize in cyclic populations of small mammals and its long-term temporal varia-tion.Location Finland.Methods We analysed 39 years of trapping data of Rodentia and Soricomor-pha collected in field and forest habitats across Finland. Abundance was mea-sured as the mean population density of individuals, and range…

A new species ofPlesiodimylus(Dimylidae, Eulipotyphla, Mammalia) from the Early Miocene of Spain

2017

AbstractWe report a new dimylid species, Plesiodimylus ilercavonicus sp. nov., from the Early Miocene locality of Mas d’Antolino B-5 (Ribesalbes-Alcora, Castello, Spain). This new species of Plesiodimylus is an amblyodont form of the genus and exhibits some primitive characters. The phylogenetic and palaeoenvironmental implications of this southern occurrence of Plesiodimylus in Lower Miocene sediments are discussed.urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:EB5435A4-EECE-4B88-B5AC-4B77E2E13029
