Evolution of exceptional species richness among lineages of fleshy-fruited Myrtaceae
(Oxford Univ PressOxfordInglaterra, 2010)
Phylogeny and historical biogeography of Lithospermeae (Boraginaceae): Disentangling the possible causes of Miocene diversifications
(Academic Press, 2019)
Studies about the drivers of angiosperm clade diversifications have revealed how the environment continuously alters the species chances to adapt or to go extinct. This process depends on complex interactions between abiotic ...
The molecular phylogenetic signature of clades in decline
(2011-10-04)
Molecular phylogenies have been used to study the diversification of many clades. However, current methods for inferring diversification dynamics from molecular phylogenies ignore the possibility that clades may be decreasing ...
Contribution of differential diversification rates to current broad-scale patterns os species richness in south american birds
(UniandesMaestría en Ciencias BiológicasFacultad de CienciasDepartamento de Biología, 2010)
Multiple studies have revealed relationships between current spatial patterns of species richness and various environmental factors. However, little is known about the origin of these relationships in terms of processes ...
Diversification patterns in the CES clade (Brassicaceae tribes Cremolobeae, Eudemeae, Schizopetaleae) in Andean South America
(Wiley, 2016-08)
Dated molecular phylogenetic trees show that the Andean uplift had a major impact on South American biodiversity. For many Andean groups, accelerated diversification (radiation) has been documented. However, not all Andean ...
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 ...
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 opportunity and the rate of morphological evolution in the diversification of greater Antillean anoles
The pace of phenotypic diversification during adaptive radiation should decrease as ecological opportunity declines. We test this prediction using phylogenetic comparative analyses of a wide range of morphological traits ...
