Figure 3 Delavaux (2026): Major traits hypothesized to impact the mutualist filter. A framework synthesizing mutualism traits hypothesized to impact the strength of the mutualist filter. Plant host traits include specificity, dependency, and multiple mutualists; mutualist traits include dispersal limitation, specificity, and dependency. Finally, species introductions may mediate the filter, with differing effects on the mainland relative to islands. An example within the mycorrhizal symbiosis contrasting arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) mutualisms is given in the dark gray boxes. Although EM mutualisms are relatively stronger in three out of five traits predicted to increase the mutualist filter, research shows that AM plant species experience a stronger filter, likely due to the overriding effect of dispersal limitation.

Symbols indicate climate cooling/warming, tectonic continent–continent collision and evolutionary diversification.

Interesting case of recent human-modulated geodispersal which was enabled by the building and functioning of the Suez Canal. Interesting to think about this case as an analogue of ancient tectonic restructuring of seaways 👇

[8/8] Déterminer si une espèce est réellement éteinte conditionne des choix concrets. Arrêter ou poursuivre des programmes de protection, mobiliser des financements, préserver des habitats. Les incertitudes concernent surtout insectes, champignons et espaces peu étudiés. #biogeography

Quand et comment décide-t-on qu’une espèce est éteinte ? Il est bien plus difficile de prouver une absence que de constater une présence. Il faut donc souvent des années, et un processus minutieux, pour déclarer une espèce éteinte.

[1/8] La phylogéographe Violaine Nicolas Colin (MNHN) analyse les critères scientifiques permettant de déclarer une espèce éteinte. Elle montre que l’extinction est une décision méthodique, fondée sur l’espace, le temps et l’état des habitats. #geography #biogeography #biodiversityloss
