Aim We applied a multicomponent approach based on the decomposition of taxonomic (both presence–absence and abundance) and functional beta diversity to determine the influence of ecological factors in shaping spatial distribution diversity of coral reef fishes, and the implications for conservation decisions. Location Lagoons of ten atolls characterized by low human pressure but with contrasted geomorphology in the Tuamotu Arc...

An understanding of the role of factors intrinsic to a species’ life history in structuring contemporary genetic variation is a fundamental, but understudied, aspect of evolutionary biology. Here, we assessed the influence of the propensity to outbreak in shaping worldwide genetic variation in Locusta migratoria , a cosmopolitan pest well known for its expression of density‐dependent phase polyphenism. We scored 14 microsatell...
