- 12 November 2010
The Making of Amazonian Diversity The biodiversity of the Amazon Basin is legendary, but the processes by which it has been generated have been debated. In the late 20th century the prevalent view… Expand
Biological evidence supports an early and complex emergence of the Isthmus of Panama
- C. Bacon, D. Silvestro, C. Jaramillo, B. T. Smith, P. Chakrabarty, A. Antonelli
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 27 April 2015
Significance The formation of the Isthmus of Panama, which linked North and South America, is key to understanding the biodiversity, oceanography, atmosphere, and climate in the region. Despite its… Expand
Tracing the impact of the Andean uplift on Neotropical plant evolution
- A. Antonelli, J. Nylander, C. Persson, I. Sanmartín
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 16 June 2009
Recent phylogenetic studies have revealed the major role played by the uplift of the Andes in the extraordinary diversification of the Neotropical flora. These studies, however, have typically… Expand
Evolution of multicellularity coincided with increased diversification of cyanobacteria and the Great Oxidation Event
- Bettina E. Schirrmeister, Jurriaan M. de Vos, A. Antonelli, H. Bagheri
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 14 January 2013
Cyanobacteria are among the most diverse prokaryotic phyla, with morphotypes ranging from unicellular to multicellular filamentous forms, including those able to terminally (i.e., irreversibly)… Expand
Why are there so many plant species in the Neotropics
- A. Antonelli, I. Sanmartín
- Biology
- 1 April 2011
The Neotropical region (tropical America) is the most species rich region on Earth. Several causes have been proposed to explain this extraordinary biodiversity, which may be very roughly classified… Expand
Molecular Studies and Phylogeography of Amazonian Tetrapods and their Relation to Geological and Climatic Models
- A. Antonelli, Adrián Quijada-Mascareñas, +4 authors W. Wüster
- Biology
- 1 July 2010
Explaining the origins and evolution of Amazonian biodiversity continues to be an outstanding question in evolutionary biology. A plethora of mechanisms for promoting diversifi cation has been… Expand
The origin of multicellularity in cyanobacteria
- Bettina E. Schirrmeister, A. Antonelli, H. Bagheri
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Evolutionary Biology
- 14 February 2011
BackgroundCyanobacteria are one of the oldest and morphologically most diverse prokaryotic phyla on our planet. The early development of an oxygen-containing atmosphere approximately 2.45 - 2.22… Expand
Mass extinction, gradual cooling, or rapid radiation? Reconstructing the spatiotemporal evolution of the ancient angiosperm genus Hedyosmum (Chloranthaceae) using empirical and simulated approaches.
- A. Antonelli, I. Sanmartín
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 October 2011
Chloranthaceae is a small family of flowering plants (65 species) with an extensive fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. Within Chloranthaceae, Hedyosmum is remarkable because of its… Expand
The abiotic and biotic drivers of rapid diversification in Andean bellflowers (Campanulaceae)
- Laura P. Lagomarsino, F. Condamine, A. Antonelli, A. Mulch, C. Davis
- Biology, Medicine
- The New phytologist
- 14 March 2016
Summary The tropical Andes of South America, the world's richest biodiversity hotspot, are home to many rapid radiations. While geological, climatic, and ecological processes collectively explain… Expand
Bayesian estimation of speciation and extinction from incomplete fossil occurrence data.
- D. Silvestro, J. Schnitzler, L. H. Liow, A. Antonelli, N. Salamin
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 8 February 2014
The temporal dynamics of species diversity are shaped by variations in the rates of speciation and extinction, and there is a long history of inferring these rates using first and last appearances of… Expand
