Abstract
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…
Comparative phylogeography of montane bird species from southern Atlantic Forest: Integrating evolutionary and ecological traits in the study of community assemblage, BP.PD
Abstract
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…

Abstract
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…
Comparative phylogeography of montane bird species from southern Atlantic Forest: Integrating evolutionary and ecological traits in the study of community assemblage, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
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…
