Conceptual and empirical advances in Neotropical biodiversity research [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
The outstanding biodiversity found in the American tropics (the Neotropics) has attracted the attention of naturalists for centuries. Despite major advances in the generation of biodiversity data, many questions remain to be answered.

Neotropical biodiversity: timing and potential drivers

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2011
6 p., gráf.The origin of extant neotropical biodiversity has been a controversial topic since the time of Darwin. In this review, I discuss the timing of, and potential driving factors associated with, diversification using recent evidence from molecular

The Neotropical Biodiversity Mapping Initiative: Transforming Venezuelan biodiversity monitoring and capacity building

Societal Impacts
Tropical Latin America is home to an enormous share of the world's biodiversity. Despite its immense natural wealth, the region faces a significant deficit of reliable biodiversity data and lacks the local capacity necessary to collect such data.

Biodiversity change in Neotropical freshwater systems

Freshwater taxa are amongst the most threatened on Earth due to multiple human-induced impacts on inland waters. There is particular concern about the integrity of the freshwater biota in the Neotropical region, which is one of the most biodiverse in the

Diversification dynamics in the Neotropics through time, clades, and biogeographic regions

eLife, 2022
The origins and evolution of the outstanding Neotropical biodiversity are a matter of intense debate. A comprehensive understanding is hindered by the lack of deep-time comparative data across wide phylogenetic and ecological contexts.
