Pleistocene climatic cycling and diversification of the Andean treefrog, Hypsiboas andinus
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-04)
Our understanding of the causes of diversification of Neotropical organisms lags behind that of Northern Hemisphere biota, especially for montane and temperate regions of southern South America. We investigated the ...
Evidence of hybridization in the Argentinean lizards Liolaemus gracilis and Liolaemus bibronii (IGUANIA: LIOLAEMINI): An integrative approach based on genes and morphology
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2011-11)
The lizard genus Liolaemus is endemic to temperate South America and includes more than 225 species. Liolaemus gracilis and L. bibronii are closely related species that have large and overlapping geographic distributions, ...
Mammalian biogeography of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego
(The University of Chicago Press, 2012)
The Patagonian-Fuegian region, located in southern South America roughly south of 40°S, comprises areas of Argentinean monte, Patagonian steppe and grasslands, and Valdivian temperate and Magellanic subpolar forests. ...
The genetic effects of Late Quaternary climatic changes over a tropical latitudinal gradient: Diversification of an Atlantic Forest passerine
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-05)
The increase in biodiversity from high to low latitudes is a widely recognized biogeographical pattern. According to the latitudinal gradient hypothesis (LGH), this pattern was shaped by differential effects of Late ...
Genetic diversity patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with the mycoheterotroph Arachnitis uniflora Phil. (Corsiaceae)
(Oxford University Press, 2017-06-01)
Background and Aims: Arachnitis uniflora is a mycoheterotrophic plant that exploits arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi of neighbouring plants. We tested A. uniflora's specificity towards fungi across its large latitudinal range, ...
Conservation genetics of south american aquatic mammals: An overview of gene diversity, population structure, phylogeography, non-invasive methods and forensics
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-12)
1 Most aquatic mammals have high dispersal potential, and there are often severe conservation concerns related to their legal or illegal harvesting. Therefore, economic, social and forensic factors often arise in decisions ...
Paraphyly of Cinclodes fuscus (Aves: Passeriformes: Furnariidae): Implications for taxonomy and biogeography
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2009-11)
The Andes are a hotspot of global avian diversity, but studies on the historical diversification of Andean birds remain relatively scarce. Evolutionary studies on avian lineages with Andean-Patagonian distributions have ...
Molecular and morphological differentiation among Torrent Duck (Merganetta armata) populations in the Andes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-09)
Birds living in riverine environments may show weak population structure because high dispersal abilities required to track habitat dynamics can result in gene flow over broad spatial scales. Alternatively, the configuration ...
Phylodynamics of vampire bat-transmitted rabies in Argentina
(Wiley, 2014-05)
Common vampire bat populations distributed from Mexico to Argentina are important rabies reservoir hosts in Latin America. The aim of this work was to analyse the population structure of the rabies virus (RABV) variants ...
Evolutionary history of Kingiodendron pinnatum (Fabaceae: Caesalpinoideae), an endangered species of Western Ghats, India: A phylogeographical approach
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-04)
Palaeoclimatic conditions and the Palghat Gap (PG), an ancient geological break, influence structuring of genetic diversity in the Western Ghats (WG) of India. The present study describes the first approach of its kind on ...
