Abstract The Atlantic rainforest of Brazil harbors outstanding species richness and levels of
endemism, representing one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Yet, a lot is still …

Neotropical swarm‐founding wasps are divided into 19 genera in the tribe Epiponini
(Vespidae, Polistinae). They display extensive variation in several colony‐level traits that …

For the Neotropical genus Angiopolybia Araujo 1946, several phenotypic forms were
previously described, however, they have not been studied within an integrative taxonomic …

The Neotropical realm harbours unparalleled species richness and hence has challenged
biologists to explain the cause of its high biotic diversity. Empirical studies to shed light on …

Phylogeographic studies have sought to explain the genetic imprints of historical climatic
changes and geographic barriers within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (AF) biota, and …

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci are essential for cellular metabolism due to their participation in
ribosome biogenesis. Although these genes have been widely cytogenetically mapped, the …

Seven Scolopendra species from the Southeast Asian mainland delimited based on
standard external morphological characters represent monophyletic groups in phylogenetic …

Social wasps are common elements of the Neotropical fauna, known to most people living in
this region because of their large nests and the aggressive defensive behavior of many …

Chromosomal regions enriched in repetitive DNA sequences have a predisposition to
instability, resulting in a propensity to undergo structural rearrangements. Hence, the rRNA …
