Gloger's rule is an ecogeographical rule that links animal colouration with climatic variation.
This rule is named after CWL Gloger who was one of the first to summarise the associations …

We review the main biogeographic and phylogenetic hypotheses about the origin and
distribution of the endemic birds from Brazilian mountaintops, a heterogeneous group …

Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado is a biodiversity hotspot of global importance; however, it is
fragmented. The objective of this study is to identify suitable areas for ecological corridors …

Mountains provide an interesting context in which to study the many facets of biodiversity in
response to macroclimate, since environmental conditions change rapidly due to elevation …

Rupestrian grasslands are biodiverse, evolutionary old vegetation complexes that harbor
more than 5000 species of vascular plants and one of the highest levels of plant endemism …

Although some species groups have been recognized in the leiuperine genus
Physalaemus, no phylogenetic analysis has previously been performed. Here, we provide a …

Current techniques for estimating the extent of occurrence (EOO) of species, especially
those with a naturally disjunct distribution and limited available data, lead to overestimations …

Mining causes profound impacts on biodiversity. In Brazil, mining pressure is intense,
especially in highly biodiverse regions such as the Espinhaço range. We analyzed the direct …

Identifying endemic species and the areas of endemism delimited by them is central to
biogeography. However, the impact of distinct taxonomic approaches on these patterns is …

Abstract The Atlantic Forest is the second largest tropical moist forest domain in South
America after the Amazon, home to over 800 bird species (223 endemics or 27% of the …
