Geographical distribution and ecological diversification of South American octodontid rodents
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013-02)
Caviomorph rodents represent one of the most distinctive groups of mammals in southern South America drylands; they colonized South America from Africa via trans-oceanic dispersions in the Eocene (40-50 Ma) and underwent ...
Phylogenetic relationships of Deprea: New insights into the evolutionary history of physaloid groups
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-02)
Deprea is the genus with the second highest species richness in tribe Physalideae (Solanaceae) and comprises 50 species that are mainly distributed in the Andes of South America. The taxonomy of Deprea has been unstable ...
Phylogeny and historical biogeography of Hydrophyllaceae and Namaceae, with a special reference to Phacelia and Wigandia
(Taylor & Fracis, 2020)
This study aimed to examine the systematic position of South American species ofPhacelia(Hydrophyllaceae) andWigandia(Namaceae) and the historical biogeography of Hydrophyllaceae and Namaceae using molecular dating and ...
Fire ants: What do rural and urban areas show us about occurrence, diversity, and ancestral state reconstruction?
(Soc Brasil Genetica, 2022-01-01)
In South America, Solenopsis saevissima and S. invicta are the most common fire ants. Nests are founded in areas under anthropic interference like urban or rural areas, but S. invicta is found preferentially in those with ...
Out of Amazonia again and again: episodic crossing of the Andes promotes diversification in a lowland forest flycatcher
(ROYAL SOC, 2008)
Most Neotropical lowland forest taxa occur exclusively on one side of the Andes despite the availability of appropriate habitat on both sides. Almost all molecular phylogenies and phylogenetic analyses of species assemblages ...
Using chromosomal data in the phylogenetic and molecular dating framework: Karyotype evolution and diversification in Nierembergia (Solanaceae) influenced by historical changes in sea level
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-03)
Karyotype data within a phylogenetic framework and molecular dating were used to examine chromosome evolution in Nierembergia and to infer how geological or climatic processes have influenced in the diversification of this ...
Speciesgeocoder: Fast Categorization Of Species Occurrences For Analyses Of Biodiversity, Biogeography, Ecology, And Evolution
(Oxford Univ PressOxford, 2017)
Historical biogeography of the genus Cyriocosmus (Araneae: Theraphosidae) in the Neotropics According to an Event-Based Method and Spatial Analysis of Vicariance
(Academia Sinica, 2012-05)
The distributional history of the South American endemic genus Cyriocosmus (Araneae, Theraphosidae) was reconstructed, and a spatial analysis of vicariance was conducted. Results obtained with the software RASP (Reconstruct ...
An integrative approach to understanding the evolution and diversity of Copiapoa (Cactaceae), a threatened endemic Chilean genus from the Atacama Desert
(Botanical Soc Amer, 2015)
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Species of the endemic Chilean cactus genus Copiapoa have cylindrical or (sub)globose stems that are solitary or form (large) clusters and typically yellow flowers. Many species are threatened with ...
Inferring ancestral range reconstruction based on trilobite records: a study-case on Metacryphaeus (Phacopida, Calmoniidae)
(2018-12-01)
Metacryphaeus is a calmoniid trilobite genus from the Devonian Malvinokaffric Realm, exclusive to the Gondwanan regions. It includes eleven species, which are for the first time included here in a single phylogenetic ...
