The changing course of the Amazon River in the Neogene: center stage for Neotropical diversification
We review geological evidence on the origin of the modern transcontinental Amazon River,
and the paleogeographic history of riverine connections among the principal sedimentary …

The Miocene wetland of western Amazonia and its role in Neotropical biogeography
Abstract In the Miocene (23–5 Ma), a large wetland known as the Pebas System
characterized western Amazonia. During the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (c. 17–15 …

Disproportionate extinction of South American mammals drove the asymmetry of the Great American Biotic Interchange
The interchange between the previously disconnected faunas of North and South America
was a massive experiment in biological invasion. A major gap in our understanding of this …

Diversification dynamics in the Neotropics through time, clades, and biogeographic regions
The origins and evolution of the outstanding Neotropical biodiversity are a matter of intense
debate. A comprehensive understanding is hindered by the lack of deep-time comparative …

Historical biogeography identifies a possible role of Miocene wetlands in the diversification of the Amazonian rocket frogs (Aromobatidae: Allobates)
Aim We investigate the spatiotemporal context of the diversification of Allobates, a
widespread genus of Amazonian frogs with high species diversity particularly in western …
