Continuing with comparative genomic exploration of worldwide butterfly fauna, we use all
protein-coding genes as they are retrieved from the whole genome shotgun sequences for …

Mountainous areas host a disproportionately large fraction of Earth's biodiversity, suggesting
a causal relationship between mountain building and biological diversification. Mountain …

The Andean mountains stand out for their striking species richness and endemicity that
characterize many emblematic Neotropical clades distributed in or around these mountains …

Abstract The Heliconiini genera Agraulis and Dryas are widely distributed throughout the
Neotropics and into adjacent temperate regions, and although they are currently treated as …

We present the first dated molecular phylogeny of the Cerurinae moths (Notodontidae),
based on sequence data for 666 loci generated by anchored hybrid enrichment. Monophyly …

Regional species diversity is explained ultimately by speciation, extinction and dispersal.
Here, we estimate dispersal and speciation rates of Neotropical butterflies to propose an …

Labrundinia is a highly recognizable lineage in the Pentaneurini tribe (Diptera,
Chironomidae). The distinct predatory free-swimming larvae of this genus are typically …

The regions of the Andes and Caribbean-Mesoamerica are both hypothesized to be the
cradle for many Neotropical lineages, but few studies have fully investigated the dynamics …

Abstract The New World scarab beetle tribe Phanaeini contains coprophagous,
necrophagous, mycetophagous and suspected myrmecophilous species. We analyse the …

Augochlorini comprise 646 described bee species primarily distributed in the Neotropical
region. According to molecular and morphological phylogenies, the tribe is monophyletic …
