Understanding how speciation, extinction, and dispersal shaped the distribution and diversity of extant species in the Neotropics has been one of the most intriguing topics in ecology and biogeography. Although the Atlantic Forest is among the most species-rich rainforests in the world, studies integrating evolutionary, biogeographical, and ecological approaches to address the underlying …
A key challenge in ecological research is to integrate data from different scales to evaluate the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that influence current patterns of biological diversity. Previous studies have shown that the climate oscillations of the Quaternary strongly influenced the current species composition of amphibians. However, we do not know how species are distributed in…
Biogeographic regionalization is a representation of the geographic distribution of species in space in response to past and current abiotic and biotic factors, through which it is possible to obtain relevant information for understanding the processes that shape certain patterns. This approach has been used to fill knowledge gaps and guide species conservation practices, which is even mo…
The species distribution modelling (SDM) is widely used in biogeographic studies to investigate how abiotic and biotic factors of the specie's localities estimates their geographic distribution. Although most studies use only climatic data as reference, variables such as land use and vegetation cover have been included in recent modelling. In general, models including vegetation data are …
The Atlantic Forest (AF) is a global conservation hotspot due to the large number of highly threatened endemic species. Several models have been proposed to explain the underlying causes of the high biodiversity in this biome. For example, the refuge theory poses that areas richer in species today are so because they were more climatically stable during the Plio-Pleistocene. This theory h…
It is recognized that spatial distribution of species within communities is not random, but rather reflects their shared ecological tolerances. For example, if extreme environmental conditions (i.e., dryness) limit the occurrence of species with certain functional traits, environmental filtering process increases the functional redundancy in communities. On the other hand, in areas with l…

Biogeographic regionalization is typically defined as a hierarchical system that categorizes geographical areas based on their shared biological compositions. This approach provides spatial representations of species' geographic distribution in response to past and current abiotic and biotic forces, contributing to understanding how speciation, extinction, and dispersal processes have sha…
