Origin, diversification, and historical biogeography of the genus Trachurus (Perciformes: Carangidae)
(Academic Press Inc., 2005)
We addressed phylogenetic relationships in the genus Trachurus using cytochrome b gene and D-loop sequences. The trees showed five groups: (1) the Southwest Pacific species (T. japonicus, T. novaezelandiae, and T. declivis); ...
Biogeographical signature of river capture events in Amazonian lowlands
(2015-12-01)
Aim: To investigate the effects of river capture on the biogeographical history of South American freshwater fishes. Location: Western Amazon and La Plata basins, and adjacent river drainages. Methods: We used a species-dense ...
Sympatry inference and network analysis in biogeography
(Oxford University Press, 2008-06)
A new approach for biogeography to find patterns of sympatry, based on network analysis, is proposed. Biogeographic analysis focuses basically on sympatry patterns of species. Sympatry is a network (= relational) datum, ...
Biogeography and divergence times of genus Macroptilium (Leguminosae)
(Oxford University Press, 2010-10)
Background and aims: Macroptilium is an herbaceous legume genus with eighteen currently accepted species, seven of them with economic importance due to their use as forage, green fertilizer and in medicine. The genus is ...
Molecular systematic and historical biogeography of the armored Neotropical catfishes Hypoptopomatinae and Neoplecostominae (Siluriformes: Loricariidae)
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2008-11-01)
The Neotropics possess the greatest freshwater fish diversity of the world, rendering the study of their evolutionary history extremely challenging. Loricariidae catfishes are one of the most diverse components of the ...

Evolutionary biogeography of South American weevils of the tribe Naupactini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-07)
Aim: Naupactini are highly diverse weevils, widespread in the Neotropical region. Their evolution may have been driven by geological and environmental changes. Our main goals were to explain the biotic diversification of ...
Coordinated dispersal and pre-isthmian assembly of the Central American ichthyofauna
(2015-09-14)
We document patterns of coordinated dispersal over evolutionary time frames in heroine cichlids and poeciliine live-bearers, the two most species-rich clades of freshwater fishes in the Caribbean basin. Observed dispersal ...
