An event model for phylogenetic biogeography using explicitly geographical ranges
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-10)
Aim: To develop and implement a method for phylogenetic biogeography that is both event based and geographically explicit, that is, that uses the geographical ranges observed in the terminals instead of ‘predefined areas.’. ...
Historical biogeography and cryptic diversity in the Callichthyinae (Siluriformes, Callichthyidae)
(2013-06-21)
The family Callichthyidae, divided into the subfamilies Corydoradinae and Callichthyinae, contains more than 200 species of armoured catfishes distributed throughout the Neotropics, as well as fossil species dating from ...
Area and distance from mainland affect in different ways richness and phylogenetic diversity of snakes in Atlantic Forest coastal islands
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-04-01)
Aim The Theory of Island Biogeography posits that ecological and evolutionary processes regulate species richness of isolated areas. We assessed the influences of an island area and distance from the mainland on species ...
Phylogenetic relationships, diversification and biogeography in Neotropical Brotogeris parakeets
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2009)
Aim We present a molecular phylogenetic analysis of Brotogeris (Psittacidae) using several distinct and complementary approaches: we test the monophyly of the genus, delineate the basal taxa within it, uncover their ...
Evolutionary history of Ramphastos toucans: Molecular phylogenetics, temporal diversification, and biogeography
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2009)
The toucan genus Ramphastos (Piciformes: Ramphastidae) has been a model in the formulation of Neotropical paleobiogeographic hypotheses. Weckstein (2005) reported on the phylogenetic history of this genus based on three ...
Multilocus phylogeny and statistical biogeography clarify the evolutionary history of major lineages of turtles
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-08)
Despite their complex evolutionary history and the rich fossil record, the higher level phylogeny and historical biogeography of living turtles have not been investigated in a comprehensive and statistical framework. To ...
Phylogenetics, biogeography and character evolution in the Ornithocephalus clade (Orchidaceae, Oncidiinae)
(Oxford Univ Press, 2018-12-01)
The Ornithocephalus clade (OC) consists of small, epiphytic orchids from the Neotropics. Thirty-six species of the OC and ten outgroup taxa were investigated using nrITS sequences analysed using maximum parsimony, maximum ...
The life and adventures of an eight-legged castaway: Colonization and diversification of Philisca ghost spiders on Robinson Crusoe Island (Araneae, Anyphaenidae)
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-02)
Oceanic archipelagoes, by their young origin and isolation, provide privileged settings to study the origin and diversification of species. Here, we study the anyphaenid spider genus Philisca, endemic to the Valdivian ...
