Aim Our aim is to document the dimensions of current squamate reptile biodiversity in the
Americas by integrating taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional data, and assessing how …

Tropical montane cloud forest harbors great species diversity in a small area of the planet
and has a high proportion of endemics. At the local scale, species richness is low, but …

Predator-prey interactions are fundamental to understand how energy flows in trophic food
webs. Frogs play a central role in Neotropical food webs, as they are prey and predators for …

Gymnophthalmids are a diverse lineage of Neotropical lizards that present challenges in the
understanding of their phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic history. Using a …
