Comparative Phylogeography of Glassfrogs (Vitreorama) Endemic to the Brazilian Altantic Rainforest
… both climate and landscape in shaping current biodiversity patterns has been the focus of many recent phylogeographic studies. Here I explore multiple factors thought to have impacted the generation of local diversity in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (AF) using two montane, stream-associated …

COEXISTENCE, RESILIENCE AND RESISTANCE OF MARINE INVERTEBRATE COMMUNITIES ACROSS A LATITUDINAL GRADIENT
… processes underlying the patterns of species diversity and community structure across biogeographical scales is therefore vital, especially as humans increasingly modify these relationships established over the course of geological history. The latitudinal diversity gradient is the most …
