Abstract The Atlantic rainforest of Brazil harbors outstanding species richness and levels of
endemism, representing one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Yet, a lot is still …

Aim We explore the biogeographic history of the Gondwanan lineage Triaenonychidae, a
dispersal‐limited arachnid taxon that underwent a recent taxonomic revision based on …

Areas of endemism (AoE) are the main study units in analytical biogeographic methods, and
are often defined as an area with two or more endemic species living in them, presenting …

Abstract The Hengduan Mountains region is a biodiversity hotspot known for its topologically
complex, deep valleys and high mountains. While landscape and glacial refugia have been …

Historical processes that have interrupted gene flow between distinct evolutionary lineages
have played a fundamental role in the evolution of the enormous diversity of species found …

Abstract The Brazilian Atlantic Forest has long been considered a global biodiversity
hotspot. In the last decade, the phylogeographic patterns of endemic taxa have been …

The role of historical factors in establishing patterns of diversity in tropical mountains is of
interest to understand the buildup of megadiverse biotas. In these regions, the historical …

The type species of Mischonyx Bertkau 1880, Mischonyx squalidus, was described based
on a juvenile. The holotype is lost. Based on a revision of publications, the genus includes …

Twelve taxonomic acts are proposed in Gonyleptoidea. In Agoristenidae, 2 specific
synonymies are proposed in Avima Roewer and Ocoita González-Sponga. Medellinia …

The diversity of biological and ecological characteristics of organisms, and the underlying
genetic patterns and processes of speciation, makes the development of universally …
