Aim The identification of biogeographical zones has been fundamental in broadscale
biodiversity analyses over the last 150 years. If processes underlying bioregionalization …

Aim Worldwide distribution patterns of living animals are structured in multiple
zoogeographical regions, characterized by faunas with homogeneous composition that are …

The analysis of biogeographical structure and patterns of endemism are central topics of
biogeography, but require exhaustive distribution data. A lack of accurate broad-scale …

Biogeographical regionalization is the classification of regions in terms of their biota and is
key to our understanding of the ecological and historical drivers affecting species distribution …

Aim To delineate present‐day zoogeographical regions of terrestrial vertebrates (frogs,
lizards, snakes, birds and non‐volant mammals) in the Atlantic Forest. Within each …

Biogeographical regionalization is the classification of regions in terms of their biotas and is
key to understanding biodiversity patterns across the world. Previously, it was only possible …

The distribution of living organisms on Earth is spatially structured. Early biogeographers
identified the existence of multiple zoogeographical regions, characterized by faunas with …

Aim Understanding the mechanisms determining species richness is a primary goal of
biogeography. Richness patterns of sub‐groups within a taxon are usually assumed to be …

Aim Comparative phylogeographic studies provide important insights into the biogeographic
processes shaping regional patterns of diversity. Yet, comparative studies are lacking for …

Aim Many ecological and evolutionary hypotheses have been proposed to explain
latitudinal diversity gradients. However, any mechanistic explanation must include factors …
