Over the past three decades, the hypothesized mid‐Cenozoic GAARlandia walkway (34±1
Ma) has featured prominently in discussions on Caribbean biogeography. However, a …

Harnessing the power of genomic scans, we test the debated “species pump” hypothesis
that implicates repeated cycles of island connectivity and isolation as drivers of divergence …

Aim In this study we present a molecular phylogenetic and phylogeographical analysis of
Peltophryne (Anura: Bufonidae), an endemic genus of Antillean toads, to investigate the …

The importance of islands in revealing evolutionary processes was highlighted already at
the birth of evolutionary biology as a science (Darwin 1859; Darwin and Wallace 1858) …

Abstract The Lesser Antilles, in the Eastern Caribbean, is inhabited by three Iguana species:
the Lesser Antillean iguanaIguana delicatissima, which is endemic to the northernmost …

Scorpions are an excellent system for understanding biogeographical patterns. Most major
scorpion lineages predate modern landforms, making them suitable for testing hypotheses …

Amphibian chytridiomycosis has caused precipitous declines in hundreds of species
worldwide. By tracking mountain chicken (Leptodactylus fallax) populations before, during …

The Caribbean region includes a geologically complex mix of islands, which have served as
a backdrop for some significant studies of biogeography, mostly with vertebrates. Here, we …

Nowadays, the emergence of resistance to the current available chemotherapeutic drugs by
cancer cells makes the development of new agents imperative. The skin secretion of …
