The mechanisms underlying the high extant biodiversity in the Neotropics have been
controversial since the 19th century. Support for the influence of period-specific changes on …

The family Phyllostomidae is recognized as representing the most extensive radiation

We present the results of an inventory of small mammals in the Mayo River basin, one of the
least-studied regions of the Central Andes in Peru. We conducted inventories at three …

South America is home to some of the richest living assemblages on Earth. Maps of species
