The Ecological Basis for Biogeographic Classification: an Example in Orchid Bees (Apidae: Euglossini)
(ENTOMOLOGICAL SOC BRASILLONDRINA,, 2012)
Biogeography has been difficult to apply as a methodological approach because organismic biology is incomplete at levels where the process of formulating comparisons and analogies is complex. The study of insect biogeography ...
Biogeographic Distribution Patterns and Their Correlates in the Diverse Frog Fauna of the Atlantic Forest Hotspot
(Public Library Science, 2014-08-20)
Anurans are a highly diverse group in the Atlantic Forest hotspot (AF), yet distribution patterns and species richness gradients are not randomly distributed throughout the biome. Thus, we explore how anuran species are ...
