Biological evidence supports an early and complex emergence of the Isthmus of Panama
Christine D. Bacon,Christine D. Bacon,Daniele Silvestro,Carlos Jaramillo,Brian Tilston Smith,Prosanta Chakrabarty,Alexandre Antonelli +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that biotic migrations across the Isthmus of Panama began several million years earlier than commonly assumed, indicating that the dramatic biotic turnover associated with the Great American Biotic Interchange was a long and complex process that began as early as the Oligocene–Miocene transition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amazonia is the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity.
Alexandre Antonelli,Alexander Zizka,Fernanda Carvalho,Ruud Scharn,Christine D. Bacon,Daniele Silvestro,Daniele Silvestro,Fabien L. Condamine,Fabien L. Condamine +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that there has been extensive interchange of evolutionary lineages among different regions and biomes, over the course of tens of millions of years, and Amazonia stands out as the primary source of diversity, which can be mainly explained by the total amount of time Amazonian lineages have occupied the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of plant DNA using a reciprocating saw and silica‐based columns
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present inexpensive techniques for simultaneously machine grinding large numbers of plant samples for DNA extraction using a commercially available reciprocating saw; and DNA recovery using silica column-based extractions similar to that used in some commercially available kits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revisiting the origin and diversification of vascular plants through a comprehensive Bayesian analysis of the fossil record
Daniele Silvestro,Borja Cascales-Miñana,Christine D. Bacon,Christine D. Bacon,Alexandre Antonelli +4 more
TL;DR: This work uses a novel Bayesian approach to estimate origination and extinction rates in plants throughout their history and shows that the commonly recognized mass extinctions have affected each plant group differently and that phases of high extinction often coincided with major floral turnovers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conceptual and empirical advances in Neotropical biodiversity research.
Alexandre Antonelli,María Ariza,María Ariza,James S. Albert,Tobias Andermann,Josué A. R. Azevedo,Christine D. Bacon,Søren Faurby,Thaís B. Guedes,Carina Hoorn,Lúcia G. Lohmann,Pável Matos-Maraví,Camila Duarte Ritter,Isabel Sanmartín,Daniele Silvestro,Marcelo F. Tejedor,Hans ter Steege,Hans ter Steege,Hanna Tuomisto,Fernanda P. Werneck,Alexander Zizka,Scott V. Edwards,Scott V. Edwards +22 more
TL;DR: This review highlights the great opportunities for studying the Neotropical biota to understand the evolution of life and urges more coordination and integration of data and ideas among disciplines, transcending their traditional boundaries, as a basis for advancing tomorrow’s ground-breaking research.
