Landscape dynamics and diversification of the megadiverse South American freshwater fish fauna
Landscape dynamics are widely thought to govern the tempo and mode of continental
radiations, yet the effects of river network rearrangements on dispersal and lineage …

Prediction of phylogeographic endemism in an environmentally complex biome
Phylogeographic endemism, the degree to which the history of recently evolved lineages is
spatially restricted, reflects fundamental evolutionary processes such as cryptic divergence …

Species delimitation, patterns of diversification and historical biogeography of the Neotropical frog genus Adenomera (Anura, Leptodactylidae)
Aim For many taxa, inaccuracy of species boundaries and distributions hampers inferences
about diversity and evolution. This is particularly true in the Neotropics where prevalence of …
