Abstract Since 2005, the Brazilian Ornithological Records Committee (CBRO) has published
updated checklists of Brazilian birds almost every year. Herein, we present a completely …

Understanding the biogeographic origins and temporal sequencing of groups within a
region or of lineages within an ecosystem can yield important insights into evolutionary …

This article comments on the changes in the new reference list on German birds. Criteria for
allocation of species to the various status and distributional categories are explained in …

Detailed evaluations of genomic variation between sister species often reveal distinct
chromosomal regions of high relative differentiation (ie,“islands of differentiation” in FST), but …

Recent analyses suggest that a few major shifts in diversification rate may be enough to
explain most of the disparity in diversity among vertebrate lineages. At least one significant …

Differences in life-history traits between tropical and temperate lineages are often attributed
to differences in their climatic niche dynamics. For example, the more frequent appearance …

Species radiations have long served as model systems in evolutionary biology. 1, 2
However, it has only recently become possible to study the genetic bases of the traits …

Most widespread birds of Neotropical cloud forests exhibit phenotypic variation that is
partitioned geographically suggesting allopatric divergence, but little is known about the …

The contribution of interspecific competition to structuring population and community
dynamics remains controversial and poorly tested. Interspecific competition has long been …

In this study we analyzed the phylogeographic pattern and historical demography of an
endemic Atlantic forest (AF) bird, Basileuterus leucoblepharus, and test the influence of the …
