TL;DR: This study explores how and to what extent morphological data can help to solve ambiguous taxonomic cases based on selected species concepts and with the use of operational criteria in a species-hypothesis testing procedure, and how old museum samples are conducive to more detailed molecular-taxonomic and conservation studies.

Are springs hotspots of benthic invertebrate diversity? Biodiversity and conservation priority of rheocrene springs in the karst landscape
J. Cíbik,Pavel Beracko,Eva Bulánková,Zuzana Čiamporová Zaťovičová,Katarína Gregušová,Ján Kodada,Il’ja Krno,Emília Mišíková Elexová,Tomáš Navara,Alexandra Rogánska,Tomáš Derka +10 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the diversity of spring benthic macroinvertebrates and compared it with that of other watercourses of the Western Carpathian riverine landscape.
Phenotype Variation in Niphargus (Amphipoda: Niphargidae): Possible Explanations and Open Challenges
TL;DR: High phenotypic variation in Niphargus is explained by cladogenesis and adaptive evolution. Evidence for both mechanisms is found.
The influence of Pleistocene glaciations on the distribution of obligate aquatic subterranean invertebrate fauna in Poland
TL;DR: The distribution of stygobiontic species in Poland is uneven, connected mostly with the intensity of faunistic studies, and the occurrence of a few endemic species in glaciated regions could be explained by their surviving in sub-glacial refugia.

Biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities
Norman Myers,Russell A. Mittermeier,Cristina G. Mittermeier,Gustavo A. B. da Fonseca,Jennifer Kent +4 more
TL;DR: A ‘silver bullet’ strategy on the part of conservation planners, focusing on ‘biodiversity hotspots’ where exceptional concentrations of endemic species are undergoing exceptional loss of habitat, is proposed.

Very high resolution interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas.
Robert J. Hijmans,Susan E. Cameron,Susan E. Cameron,Juan L. Parra,Peter G. Jones,Andy Jarvis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas (excluding Antarctica) at a spatial resolution of 30 arc s (often referred to as 1-km spatial resolution).
Defining ‘Evolutionarily Significant Units’ for conservation
TL;DR: With the explicit recognition of the genetic component of biodiversity in conservation legislation of many countries and in the Convention on Biological Diversity, the ESU concept is set to become increasingly significant for conservation of natural as well as captive populations.
Cryptic species as a window on diversity and conservation
David Bickford,David J. Lohman,Navjot S. Sodhi,Peter K. L. Ng,Rudolf Meier,Kevin Winker,Krista K. Ingram,Indraneil Das +7 more
TL;DR: The literature on cryptic and sibling species is synthesized and trends in their discovery are discussed, suggesting that the discovery of cryptic species is likely to be non-random with regard to taxon and biome and could have profound implications for evolutionary theory, biogeography and conservation planning.
Niche Conservatism: Integrating Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation Biology
TL;DR: This work describes how niche conservatism in climatic tolerances may limit geographic range expansion and how this one type of niche conservatism may be important in allopatric speciation and the spread of invasive, human-introduced species.
