Background For non-marine organisms, crossing the sea requires the challenges of dehydration and hypersalinity to be faced. Thus, the rate of water loss and saltwater tolerance determine the ability of species to disperse over sea and further influence species distribution. However, this association between physiology and ecology has rarely been in...

In recent years, the idea that the unit “Anthropocene” should be included in the official ICS Chart with the rank of epoch has been intensively discussed in scientific literature. This proposal grew so popular that, for about 20 years, the publications on the topic far exceeded 1000. However, the idea of granting Anthropocene official unit status...

In the colony founding modes, eusocial wasps are divided into “independent-founders”, which initiate a colony by one to several inseminated females, and “swarm-founders”, which found their new colony by a number of “workers” accompanying one to many “queens”. As the swarm-founders put their trail pheromone on a guide to lead their colony members to...

In all fields of quantitative research, analyzing data with missing values is an excruciating challenge. It should be no surprise that given the fragmentary nature of fossil records, the presence of missing values in geographical databases is unavoidable. As in such studies ignoring missing values may result in biased estimations or invalid conclus...
