Abstract

The Neotropics is a mega diverse region. The origin of such richness may be related to the geologic and climatic changes that occurred through time and its conservation depends on combined efforts. Birds comprise one of the most diverse groups of neotropical animals. Their endemism patterns and the association between the systematic and biogeographic relationships are appropriate for historical biogeography studies. In the present research project, molecular techniques will be applied in phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies of birds. We will enhance taxa sampling of groups which we have been studying (parrots and passerines). The dates of divergence between lineages will be estimated, taxonomy uncertainties may be resolved, and the level of isolation between populations will be determined. This data will contribute for a better knowledge of the origin, distribution, and maintenance of the biodiversity of the Neotropics. (AU)
