The role of glacial cycles in promoting genetic diversity in the Neotropics: the case of cloud forests during the Last Glacial Maximum
The increasing aridity during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has been proposed as a
major factor affecting Neotropical species. The character and intensity of this change …

Linking micro-and macroevolutionary perspectives to evaluate the role of Quaternary sea-level oscillations in island diversification
With shifts in island area, isolation, and cycles of island fusion–fission, the role of Quaternary
sea-level oscillations as drivers of diversification is complex and not well understood. Here …
