Biogeography of South American Forest Mammals: Endemism and Diversity in the Atlantic Forest1
TL;DR: There is good congruence between the areas identified here and those proposed by other authors, reinforcing the value of PAE in this kind of analysis, but the hierarchical relationships among areas are not clear and sometimes discordant with other biogeographic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that the Atlantic Forest of eastern South America probably expanded, rather than contracted, during the last glacial period, and the role of the emerged Brazilian continental shelf played a major, yet neglected, role on the evolution of this biodiversity hotspot During glacial periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecomorphological diversification among South American spiny rats (Rodentia; Echimyidae): a phylogenetic and chronological approach.
Thomas Galewski,Jean-François Mauffrey,Jean-François Mauffrey,Yuri L. R. Leite,James L. Patton,Emmanuel J. P. Douzery +5 more
TL;DR: The phylogeny of South American spiny rats was studied using the exon 28 of the von Willebrand Factor nuclear gene and molecular divergence times were estimated using a Bayesian relaxed molecular clock and suggest a Middle Miocene origin for most of modern genera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammal Conservation in Brazil
TL;DR: According to the Brazilian Institute for the Environment (IBAMA), 66 species are threatened, and the World Conservation Union lists 74 species as mentioned in this paper, which makes for knowledge gaps that hamper conservation and management initiatives and regional analyses.
