Amazonia through time: Andean uplift, climate change, landscape evolution, and biodiversity
The Amazonian rainforest is arguably the most species-rich terrestrial ecosystem in the
world, yet the timing of the origin and evolutionary causes of this diversity are a matter of …

An update of Wallace's zoogeographic regions of the world
Modern attempts to produce biogeographic maps focus on the distribution of species, and
the maps are typically drawn without phylogenetic considerations. Here, we generate a …

CALIBRATING DIVERGENCE TIMES ON SPECIES TREES VERSUS GENE TREES: IMPLICATIONS FOR SPECIATION HISTORY OF APHELOCOMA JAYS
Estimates of the timing of divergence are central to testing the underlying causes of
speciation. Relaxed molecular clocks and fossil calibration have improved these estimates; …

Single mitochondrial gene barcodes reliably identify sister-species in diverse clades of birds
ES Tavares, AJ Baker - BMC evolutionary biology, 2008 - Springer
Background DNA barcoding of life using a standardized COI sequence was proposed as a
species identification system, and as a method for detecting putative new species. Previous …

Speciation in the highlands of Mexico: genetic and phenotypic divergence in the Mexican jay (Aphelocoma ultramarina)
The pine‐oak woodlands of the Mexican highlands harbour significant biological diversity,
yet little is known about the evolutionary history of organisms inhabiting this region. We …
