Evolution of exceptional species richness among lineages of fleshy-fruited Myrtaceae
(Oxford Univ PressOxfordInglaterra, 2010)
Corporate knowledge diversification in the face of technological complexity: The case of industrial biotech
(Elsevier, 2016-09)
In the course of late twentieth century, successive waves of molecular biological revolutions (recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, genomics, proteomics, stem cells, tissue engineering, gene therapy) have emerged. ...
A palaeobiogeographic model for biotic diversification within Amazonia over the past three million years
(ROYAL SOCLONDON, 2012)
Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain high species diversity in Amazonia, but few generalizations have emerged. In part, this has arisen from the scarcity of rigorous tests for mechanisms promoting speciation, and ...
Model-based analyses reveal insular population diversification and cryptic frog species in the Ischnocnema parva complex in the Atlantic forest of Brazil
(2017-07-01)
The Atlantic Forest (AF) of Brazil has long been recognized as a biodiversity conservation hotspot. Despite decades of studies the species inventory of this biome continues to increase with the discovery of cryptic diversity ...
Biogeographic and diversification patterns of Neotropical Troidini butterflies (Papilionidae) support a museum model of diversity dynamics for Amazonia
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTDLONDON, 2012)
Background: The temporal and geographical diversification of Neotropical insects remains poorly understood because of the complex changes in geological and climatic conditions that occurred during the Cenozoic. To better ...
Ecological and phylogenetic dimensions of cranial shape diversification in South American caviomorph rodents (Rodentia: Hystricomorpha)
(Oxford University Press, 2013-11)
Caviomorph rodents represent an excellent model to explore morphological diversification on a macroevolutionary scale, as they are ecologically and morphologically diverse. We analysed cranial shape variation using geometric ...
Evolutionary diversification and historical biogeography of orchidaceae in Central America with emphasis on Costa Rica and Panama
(2019)
In this thesis, I targeted the orchid genus Lepanthes, one of the six genera of angiosperms that surpasses 1,000 species in the Neotropics, as a study model to investigate the evolutionary processes that promoted species ...
Diversification patterns and size evolution in caviomorph rodents
(Oxford University Press, 2017-08)
Caviomorph rodents are one of the most diverse mammalian groups in the Neotropics; they display astonishing eco-morphological variation, including unparalleled size range. Here we analyse evolutionary patterns among extant ...
