Phylogeography of the chestnut‐tailed antbird (Myrmeciza hemimelaena) clarifies the role of rivers in Amazonian biogeography (2012, background): “…obtained for the M. hemimelaena complex supports this broad conclusion because it fits a general pattern shown by several other avian lineages, whereby populations from the Brazilian shield are monophyletic, but those from the Solimões sedimentary basin are paraphyletic (Aleixo & Rossetti, 2007).”
Neotropical diversification seen through glassfrogs (2014, background): “…role of the Andes as a species-pump for lowland diversity and vice versa (Fjelds a, 1994; Sedano & Burns, 2010), the Precambrian Shields as a source area for rain forest diversification (Nores, 1999; Aleixo & Rossetti, 2007), and a south-to-north diversification of high Andean taxa (Doan, 2003).”
Phylogeny and comparative phylogeography of Sclerurus (Aves: Furnariidae) reveal constant and cryptic diversification in an old radiation of rain forest understorey specialists (2013, background): “These areas were designated based on their geological, geographical and palaeoecological similarities and distinctions (Bates, 2001; Campbell et al., 2006; Aleixo & Rossetti, 2007) and based on patterns of distributions for terrestrial vertebrates (Haffer, 1974; Cracraft, 1985).”
