Abstract Aim Mapping Amazonian biodiversity accurately is a major challenge for integrated
conservation strategies and to study its origins. However, species boundaries and their …

Taxa with vast distribution ranges often display unresolved phylogeographic structures and
unclear taxonomic boundaries resulting in hidden diversity. This hypothesis-driven study …

Species discovery methods utilizing coalescent-based approaches are powerful tools for
detecting cryptic lineages within morphological conservative groups, thus being an …

The outstanding species richness of Amazonia has fascinated biologists for centuries.
However, the records of actual numbers and distribution of species forming its ecosystems …

We review the Atractus snethlageae species complex based on the examination of 330
specimens throughout its entire distribution, including its type series. We redefine A …

The outstanding biodiversity of the Guiana Shield has raised many questions about its
origins and evolution. Frogs of the genera Adelastes, Otophryne and Synapturanus form an …

The patterns of genetic diversity in several genomic regions have been used in mammalian
systematics for decades. For instance, when studying closely related species, it is generally …

A partial rbcL sequence of the lectotype specimen of Corallina berteroi shows that it is the
earliest available name for C. ferreyrae. Multilocus species delimitation analyses (ABGD …

Major historical landscape changes have left significant signatures on species
diversification. However, how these changes have affected the build-up and maintenance of …

We present data showing that the number of salamander species in Amazonia is vastly
underestimated. We used DNA sequences of up to five genes (3 mitochondrial and 2 …
