The gastrointestinal traits of herbivorous mammals constitute complex ecosystems that harbor a fermentative microbiota composed of ciliated protists, among other microorganisms. These protists secrete fibrolytic enzymes that act in the digestion of vegetal fibers. A large portion of these ciliates belong to the subclass Trichostomatia, which display several systematic inconsistencies. Thi…
The Dry Diagonal (DD) contains a number of environments including the Caatinga and Cerrado that span over 1/3 the area of Brazil, as well as the Chaco of northern Argentina. Because of its perceived lower biodiversity for many taxa than in better known biomes such as the Amazon basin and the Atlantic forest, evolutionary processes in the DD have received much less attention from biologis…
In South America there are two important rain forests, the Amazon and the Atlantic forest, separated by a zone of open vegetation, which has been considered a restriction for species migrations. However, as vegetation maps show some connections between these forests and probably they were continuous in the past, interesting phylogeographic patterns can be found for species found in the tw…
Within a species, populations may be connected to some degree, depending on the characteristics of the landscape where they occur. Connectivity brings variability to the demes, insofar as gene flow takes place among them. Such variation is important for the genetic viability of the species, especially when facing processes that may impose pressure over individuals, such as habitat loss, f…
The gastrointestinal tracts of herbivorous mammals constitute complex ecosystems that have a fermenting microbiota composed, among other microorganisms, of ciliated protists. These microeukaryotes secrete fibrolytic enzymes that act in the digestion of plant fibers. A significant portion of these ciliates belong to the subclass Trichostomatia, which presents several problems and systemati…
The Dry Diagonal is a corridor of open formations that occurs in a wide gradient of environmental conditions and comprises three phytogeographic domains, Chaco, Caatinga and Cerrado. The Cerrado formed approximately ten million years ago and has as outstanding features its seasonal climate, dystrophic soils, relief of plateaus and depressions and its great biodiversity. One of the main hy…

The Cerrado is a patchwork of phytophysiognomies with dominance of savannah, placed in the Dry Diagonal, wide corridor in the center of the Neotropical region. Relate with one of the major world's hotspots to preservation and conservasion, with the minor percentage of protected areas in Brazil. It has 2,000,000 Km2 of size (24% of the brazilian territory), and high since sea level until 1…
The Neotropical region supports one of the largest biodiversity in the world, distributed across large numbers of biomes. To understand how past events affected the biomes and the local biodiversity is one of the main challenges facing Neotropical biogeography. Despite their large diversity in this region, spiders have been scarcely used in this type of study. The genus of Mygamomorphae s…
South America has great biodiversity, sheltering two important biomes, Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest. Currently these biomes are separated by an area of open vegetation, but studies suggest that they were united in the past. Spiders are great biological models for studies of phylogeography, however, in the Neotropical region have not been well studied. Argiope argentata (Araneae: Arane…
