Phylogeny, evolution and ecological speciation analyses of Imperata (Poaceae: Andropogoneae) in the Neotropics
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-03)
Imperata is a ubiquitous grass genus of the tribe Andropogoneae (Poaceae), distributed throughout the world. Previous systematic studies had established that the genus encompasses nine species although no phylogenetic ...
Locomotor performance of closely related Tropidurus species: relationships with physiological parameters and ecological divergence
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2014)
Patterns of Z chromosome divergence among Heliconius species highlight the importance of historical demography
(2018)
Sex chromosomes are disproportionately involved in reproductive isolation and adaptation. In support of such a “large-X” effect, genome scans between recently diverged populations and species pairs often identify distinct ...
Ecological divergence and hybridization of Neotropical Leishmania parasites
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020)
The tropical Andes are an important natural laboratory to understand speciation in many taxa. Here we examined the evolutionary history of parasites of the Leishmania braziliensis species complex based on whole-genome ...
Allozyme divergence in two syntopic Liolaemus of the Liolaemus monticola group (Squamata: Tropiduridae)
(Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, 2003)
Genetic divergence between two traditionally recognized subspecies, Liolaemus monticola chillanensis and Liolaemus monticola ssp, was assessed by allozymic comparison. Both morphotypes are syntopic and restricted to the ...
Intraspecific ecological niche divergence and reproductive shifts foster cytotype displacement and provide ecological opportunity to polyploids
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05)
Background and Aims Niche divergence between polyploids and their lower ploidy progenitors is one of the primary mechanisms fostering polyploid establishment and adaptive divergence. However, within-species chromosomal and ...
Genetic divergence in tropical anurans: deeper phylogeographic structure in forest specialists and in topographically complex regions
(Springer, 2015-09-01)
Many tropical organisms show large genetic differences among populations, yet the prevalent drivers of the underlying divergence processes are incompletely understood. We explored the effect of several habitat and natural ...
Geographical and environmental contributions to genomic divergence in mangrove forests
(2021-03-01)
Assessing the relative importance of geographical and environmental factors to the spatial distribution of genetic variation can provide information about the processes that maintain genetic variation in natural populations. ...
Historical and ecological divergence among populations of Monttea chilensis (Plantaginaceae), an endemic endangered shrub bordering the Atacama Desert, Chile
(Springer, 2014-02)
The coastal deserts of northern Chile show an important latitudinal gradient of aridity with more arid areas to the north of the Atacama Desert than to the south. Several plant species have disjunct distributions that ...
