In and out of Mesoamerica: temporal divergence of Amazilia hummingbirds pre-dates the orthodox account of the completion of the Isthmus of Panama
Aim We used mitochondrial DNA sequences to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of Mesoamerican Amazilia hummingbirds (Trochilidae). The phylogeny was used to identify vicariance scenarios,… Expand

Revalidation of Pristimantis brevicrus (Anura, Craugastoridae) with taxonomic comments on a widespread Amazonian direct-developing frog
Problems associated with delimiting species are particularly pronounced in taxa with high species-level diversity, as occurs in Pristimantis frogs. Herein, we resurrect Pristimantis brevicrus, nov.… Expand

Models of the Primary and Secondary Structure for the 12S rRNA of Birds: A Guideline for Sequence Alignment
Models of the primary and secondary structure for the 12S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene of birds is presented based on a comparison of 100 species. Preliminary higher-order structures were delimited… Expand
