The highest elevations of tropical mountains, much like oceanic islands, often support
disproportionately high levels of endemism, some of which is concealed as cryptic species …

High-mountain summits in tropical regions are habitat islands that provide refugia for
northern taxa and opportunities for speciation. These focal hotspots of biodiversity are also …

The increasing attention on Vietnam as a biodiversity hotspot prompted an investigation of
the potential for cryptic diversity in black flies, a group well known elsewhere for its high …

The polytene chromosomes of 1,612 larvae of three described morphospecies in the

Intraspecific phylogeography has been used widely as a tool to infer population history.
However, little attention has been paid to Southeast Asia despite its importance in terms of …

The polytene chromosomes of 3347 larvae of the Simulium tuberosum group in Asia were
analysed, representing the largest ever cytogenetic study of black flies in the Oriental …
