Aim Phylogeographic studies show how historical and current changes in landscapes shape
the geographic distribution of genetic diversity in species of animals and plants. In particular …

Aim Geographical patterns of montane biodiversity worldwide are related to biotic and
abiotic factors, such as historical climate dynamics and species dispersal capabilities, which …

Studies about diversification of Neotropical open-habitat organisms are scarce, especially in
frogs, in which almost all studied species from Cerrado, Chaco, and Caatinga are mainly …

Aim We investigate the biogeographical history and diversification in a treefrog lineage
distributed in contrasting (open and forested) ecoregions of South America, including three …

Climatic oscillations throughout the Pleistocene combined with geological and topographic
complexity resulted in extreme habitat heterogeneity along the Atlantic coast of Brazil …

Despite encompassing a relatively small geographical area, montane regions harbour
disproportionately high levels of species diversity and endemism. Nonetheless, relatively …

Aim Understanding how past geological and climatic events could have generated
intraspecific genetic variation at different temporal and spatial scales in the Neotropics …

The evolutionary history of Neotropical organisms has been often interpreted through broad-
scale generalizations. The most accepted model of diversification for the Brazilian Atlantic …

Abstract Aim Knowledge about the Neotropical dry formations, particularly the Caatinga,
remains rudimentary compared to other biotas in the region. Here we address several …

abstract Aim Effective conservation policies rely on information about population genetic
structure and the connectivity of remnants of suitable habitats. The interaction between …
