Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism
