A fully updated guide to the increasingly prevalent use of molecular data in ecological
studies Molecular ecology is concerned with how molecular biology and population genetics …

The Amazon is the primary source of Neotropical diversity and a nexus for discussions on
processes that drive biotic diversification. Biogeographers have focused on the roles of …

A plethora of studies have offered crucial insights in the phylogeographic status of Western
Palearctic bird species. However, an overview integrating all this information and analyzing …

The ecological traits of organisms may predict their genetic diversity and population genetic
structure and mediate the action of evolutionary processes important for speciation and …

Recently published time-calibrated molecular phylogenies have brought to light a large-
scale biotic interchange between the Western and Eastern Amazon basins, associated with …

Island ecosystems have emerged as vital model systems for evolutionary and speciation
studies due to their unique environmental conditions and biodiversity. This study …

The genus Willisornis is endemic to the Amazon Basin, inhabiting upland terra firme forest,
with two species and seven subspecies currently recognized. Despite numerous systematic …

We used molecular tools and a multilocus approach to investigate the phylogeography of
Lepidothrix coronata across most of its ample range. We sequenced six DNA fragments to …

Lowland central Amazonia is characterized by heterogeneous riverscapes dominated by
two chemically divergent water types: black (ion-poor, rich in dissolved organic carbonate …

A key question about macroevolutionary speciation rates is whether they are controlled by
microevolutionary processes operating at the population level. For example, does spatial …
