The understanding of the processes underlying patterns of biological diversity is fundamental for long-term conservation of ever-evolving biodiversity. It can theoretically be achieved with molecular studies of wild populations that seek to reveal biogeographical histories of species i.e. phylogeography. Such studies have usually confirmed theoretical predictions that species' biogeograph…
Understanding the mechanisms that promote diversification of lineages in multiple species is one of the main issues in evolutionary biology. An interesting model for studies of speciation are miniaturized vertebrates, for which high levels of microendemism have been observed. The genus Euparkerella, composed by microendemic small-bodied forms of the Brazilian Atlantic forest, is a good ex…
The understanding of the processes underlying patterns of biological diversity can theoretically be achieved with molecular studies of wild populations that seek to reveal biogeographical histories of species - i.e. Phylogeography. While there are now excellent studies on the evolutionary processes that have determined diversity in several Neotropical regions, much remains unknown about t…
Miniaturized vertebrates with microendemic pattern of distribution have been recurrently observed in tropical forests, raising many developmental and evolutionary questions. We have studied this phenomenon for a tiny frog, Euparkerella, endemic to Atlantic Rainforest, and recognized deep molecular divergences between species, cryptic diversity and population structure at fine scale. Our a…
