Rapid diversification and time explain amphibian richness at different scales in the Tropical Andes, Earth's most biodiverse hotspot
Abstract The Tropical Andes make up Earth's most species-rich biodiversity hotspot for both
animals and plants. Nevertheless, the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying this …

The rise of the Andes promoted rapid diversification in Neotropical Phlegmariurus (Lycopodiaceae)
Tropical mountains are disproportionately biodiverse relative to their surface area, but the
processes underlying their exceptional diversity require further study. Here, we use …
