Vicariance and endemism in a Neotropical savanna hotspot: distribution patterns of Cerrado squamate reptiles (2011, background): “The level of endemism was also considerably higher than that found in other vertebrate groups (Myers et al., 2000; Colli et al., 2002; Macedo, 2002; Marinho-Filho et al., 2002; Lopes, 2008).”
Do herbivores exert top-down effects in Neotropical savannas? Estimates of biomass consumption by leaf-cutter ants (2008, background): “Furthermore, although mammalian grazers and browsers are indeed rare in Neotropical savannas (Marinho-Filho et al. 2002), these ecosystems contain a diverse and abundant community of herbivorous insects (Marquis et al. 2001).”
The diversification of eastern South American open vegetation biomes: Historical biogeography and perspectives (2011, background): “…groups with higher mobility and remarkably low endemism levels at Cerrado, as birds (Silva, 1996; Silva and Santos, 2005) and mammals (Johnson et al., 1999; Marinho-Filho et al., 2002; Redford and Fonseca, 1986), with dry forests and gallery forests identified as key habitats, respectively.”
