Historical biogeography of the Andean region: evidence from Listroderina (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Rhytirrhinini) in the context of the South American geobiotic scenario
TLDR
The results suggest that Listroderina originated within an area presently represented by the Central Chile, Paramo, Puna, Patagonia and Subantarctic subregions of the Andean region, and may be linked to major geological events of South America.

Comparative histology of the vaginal-cloacal region in Squamata and its phylogenetic implications
TLDR
Cloacal features provide interesting information that is useful as a source of morphological characters for phylogenetic studies in Squamata and contributes evidence that defines the relationships within Scleroglossa.

Parsimony analysis of endemicity describes but does not explain: an illustrated critique
TLDR
The results show that PAE is unable to recover historical patterns and therefore does not fit into the current paradigm of historical biogeography, which raises doubts regarding conclusions derived from biogeographical studies that interpret PAE trees as area cladograms.

MartiTracks: A Geometrical Approach for Identifying Geographical Patterns of Distribution
TLDR
Results from two empirical examples demonstrated that a geometrical approach to panbiogeography is a feasible quantitative method to determine general distribution patterns for taxa, reducing complexity, and the time needed for managing large data sets.

On Words, Tests, and Applications: Reply to Faith et al.
TLDR
The objectives of the reply to Faith et al. (2003) are to demonstrate that their criticisms do not satisfy epistemological and methodological tenets and to compare some aspects of the methods used by Posadas et al (2001) and Faith etal.

Dengue virus serotype 3 (genotype III) from Colombia: A perspective of its pathogenic potential
TLDR
The results suggest that DENV-3 could not play any important role in the occurrence of DHF in Colombia, and that local viruses are genetically distinct from Latin American viruses associated with epidemics ofDHF.
Phylogenetic analysis of Gigantodax (Diptera: Simuliidae)
TLDR
A study of the monophyly and phylogenetic relationships among the Gigantodax species-groups was conducted and the following species groups are suggested: igniculus, cormonsi, minor, minor (containing “ minor ” + “ multifilis ”), brophyi, and “ wrighti ” groups are kept as inquerandae.
