Comparative phylogeography of two free-living cosmopolitan cyanobacteria: Insights on biogeographic and latitudinal distribution

Free‐living bacteria have long been assumed to have little biogeographic signature because of their high potential for passive dispersal. Raphidiopsis … Continue reading >Comparative phylogeography of two free-living cosmopolitan cyanobacteria: Insights on biogeographic and latitudinal distribution

Area and distance from mainland affect in different ways richness and phylogenetic diversity of snakes in Atlantic Forest coastal islands

Aim The Theory of Island Biogeography posits that ecological and evolutionary processes regulate species richness of isolated areas. We assessed … Continue reading >Area and distance from mainland affect in different ways richness and phylogenetic diversity of snakes in Atlantic Forest coastal islands
