The end of the cytochrome oxidase I gene was recently proposed as a marker to identify all animal species. The few studies with birds show that this mitochondrial region can successfully achieve this goal. In the present proposal, we intend to sequence oxidase I from at least 100 species of birds that occur in areas within the Atlantic Forest where VALE S.A. is active. We will analyze th…

This project proposes the application of genomic tools to assist in the conservation of three endangered endemic bird species in Brazil: Guaruba guarouba, Columbina cyanopis, and Odontophorus capueira plumbeicollis. The methodology involves genomic sequencing of the three species, using samples from both wild and captive birds. Analyses of wild individuals aim to characterize population s…
Historical changes in habitat distributions can produce a synchronic response of an entire biological community. However, ecological traits of each population tend to increase the variance among diversification scenarios. In the Neotropical region the Atlantic Forest (AF) stands out due to its high biodiversity intimately linked to its complex landscape. In general, phylogeographic studie…
The Neotropical region is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world and this has intrigued evolutionary biologists and naturalists for centuties. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of this diversity. Systematic and biogeographical studies of Neotropical organisms have been produced to create and test these hypotheses. Some studies, especially of birds, mamma…
The application of molecular biology has been contributing substantially to the knowledge of how historical processes shaped the high and complex Amazonian biodiversity. The development of this discipline has allowed the inclusion of more evolutionary features to analytical procedures, considerably changing the methods of interpretation of genetic data. Despite some biogeographical hypoth…

Along the montane regions of southern Atlantic Forest there is a gap of more than 300km wide without areas above 1000 m. The absence of montane habitats in this region is suitableto test diversification hypotheses regarding historical connections among currently isolatedmountain ranges as well as the effects of ecological traits related to dispersion abilities of the focal taxa. In this p…
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) associated with population genetics provide a rigorous statistical phylogeography method to test competing a priori hypotheses. Many alternative diversification hypotheses were proposed to explain the high Amazonian biodiversity, although most are unable to be properly tested or distinguished with likelihood based methods, due to the complexity of th…
Phylogeographic analyses help clarify the origin and diversification of taxa. In the Neotropical region, particularly at the Atlantic forest, there are still relatively few studies given its wealth of biodiversity. The goal of this work is to perform a comparative phylogeographic analysis of two species of endemic passerines from the Atlantic forest, Dendrocincla turdina and Drymophila sq…
