Neotropical Snakes Reveal Different Geological Times for Dispersal Corridors Between Amazon and Atlantic Forests

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three forested dispersal corridors have been proposed within the diagonal of open/dry landscapes in South America and the relative importance of each one has been the subject of debate for forest organisms. We analysed the biogeographical history of three snake genera (Bothrops, Philodryas, and Micrurus) from different families (Viperidae ...
