Aim To test predictions of the vicariance model, to define basic biogeographical units for
Cerrado squamates, and to discuss previous biogeographical hypotheses. Location …

A well-known issue in phylogenetics is discordance among gene trees, species trees,
morphology, and other data types. Gene-tree discordance is often caused by incomplete …

In the last decades research efforts studying Amazonian biodiversity have increased
substantially, with many new localities surveyed, new specimens collected, and some new …

We studied the ecology of the lizard Cnemidophorus ocellifer Spix 1825 in the central
Brazilian Cerrado. Cnemidophorus ocellifer was active on open ground, in sandy soils and …

We investigated geographical variation in ecological parameters among populations of
Cnemidophorus cryptus, Cnemidophorus gramivagus, Cnemidophorus lemniscatus …

We present a detailed list of the reptiles and amphibians occurring in two habitat types
(tabuleiros and Stational Semidecidual Forest) in the Reserva Biológica Guaribas (REBIO …

If community structure is influenced by habitat structure at a local level, then it should be
possible to tie species occurrence to key habitat variables. We used a pitfall-trap system to …

The recognition of cryptic diversity within geographically widespread species is gradually
becoming a trend in the highly speciose Neotropical biomes. The statistical methods to …

We provide a list of lizards, snakes, chelonians, and amphibians collected during a 30-day
expedition to the Seridó Ecological Station (ESEC Seridó), Rio Grande do Norte state …

We present distribution data of all Anguidae, Scincidae, and Teiidae lizards known from the
Brazilian Amazonia, totaling 29 species-level taxa, belonging to 14 genera. This represents …
