Current geographic patterns of biodiversity are a consequence of the evolutionary history of the lineages that comprise them. This study was aimed at exploring how evolutionary features of the vascular flora of Chile are ...

Factors driving the spatial configuration of centres of endemism have long been a topic of broad interest and debate. Due to different eco-evolutionary processes, these highly biodiverse areas may harbour different amounts ...

Understanding the configuration process of ecological assemblies allow us to analyze the effect of historical events on the community’s diversity. This can be achieved integrating species distribution patterns with the ...

Estudiar el proceso de configuración de ensambles ecológicos permite analizar el efecto de procesos históricos sobre las características de las comunidades. Esto puede lograrse integrando patrones de distribución de ...

The biogeographic history is an overlooked component of community assembly analysis and its implications on ecosystem functioning. In this dissertation, we incorporated the geological history of South America to assess ...
