Cross-species introgression can have significant impacts on phylogenomic reconstruction of
species divergence events. Here, we used simulations to show how the presence of even a …

Population divergence leading to speciation is often explained by physical barriers causing
allopatric distributions of historically connected populations. Environmental barriers have …

The most recent glacial cycles of the Pleistocene affected the distribution, population sizes,
and levels of genetic structure of temperate-forest species in the main Mexican mountain …

The Pleistocene climate cycles and mountain uplift both affected the diversification of taxa in
Mesoamerica. Yet, phylogeographic breaks and demographic responses of co-distributed …

Historical geological events and Pleistocene climatic fluctuations have played important
roles in shaping distribution and population differentiation across taxa. The buff-bellied …

Biodiversity is multidimensional and should therefore be characterized using multiple
approaches to understand the patterns at various temporal and spatial scales. Taxonomic …

Background and Research Aims: Historical geological events and climatic changes have
played important roles in shaping population differentiation and distribution within species …

Abstract The Central American brocket deer (Mazama temama) is widespread across the
Mesoamerican forests, yet it remains largely unknown. Three subspecies are recognized …

Understanding and forecasting species' response to climate change is a critical need for
future conservation and management. Two expansion hypotheses, the glacial expansion …

The topographical, geological, climatic and biodiversity complexity of Mesoamerica has
made it a primary research focus. The Mesoamerican highlands is a region with particularly …
