“…La Amazonía es un ícono mundial de la biodiversidad. El conocimiento actual sobre la distribución de especies sugiere patrones biogeográficos complejos (Ribas et al 2012, Naka y Brumfield 2018, Moraes et al 2020. Luego de considerar estos patrones biogeográficos y la historia geológica y climática de la región, los investigadores han propuesto varias hipótesis para explicar el origen de la alta ii https://www.cbd.int/convention/articles/?a =cbd-02 biodiversidad amazónica (Haffer 2008, Leite y Rogers 2013.…”

“…Cuando la cosecha de palma se lleva a cabo en propiedades comunales, los campesinos sobreexplotan sus recursos (Balslev et al 2015). La mayoría de las palmas nativas de los Andes tropicales (Colombia a Bolivia, 67% de las 336 especies) tienen diferentes usos y aplicaciones que incluyen alimentación, construcción y aceite (Valencia et al 2013, Moraes et al 2015. Mientras exploraban Venezuela, Humboldt y Bonpland (1805) recolectaron y describieron para la ciencia la nuez de Brasil, Berthollettia excelsa (Lecythidaceae), una especie de árbol ya conocida mucho antes de la llegada de los exploradores europeos, y ampliamente extendida por las tierras bajas de la Amazonía.…”

This chapter provides an overview of biodiversity in the Amazon, discusses the reasons why this region is so rich in species and ecosystems, and outlines some outstanding ecological processes that make the Amazon an icon of the natural world. Featured terrestrial and aquatic taxonomic groups illustrate how much we know about diversity in the Amazon, and more importantly, how much we still do not know. A clear understanding of biodiversity levels and their spatial and temporal variations is crucial to understanding future stability under different climate change, land use change, forest fragmentation, and deforestation scenarios and informing conservation and restoration efforts.

“…collii, A. avilapiresae and A. amazonius (Ribeiro-Júnior, Choueri, et al, 2020). We also included in the dataset some hypothesized candidate species recently suggested in the literature (Moraes et al, 2020;Ribeiro-Júnior, Choueri, et al, 2020). Molecular data were generated for a newly collected specimen from the Lower Juruá River basin, state of Amazonas, Brazil.…”

“…The final dataset comprised 61 individuals of the A. angulatus group and five For the newly generated molecular data, we extracted genomic DNA from tissue samples stored in 100% ethanol following the protocols of the Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). We amplified the ND4 gene using primers ND4L/ND4H (Arévalo et al, 1994), following methods of Moraes et al (2020). PCR products were purified with PEG (polyethyleneglycol) 8000 and sequenced using the Big Dye Terminator sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA) in the automated sequencer ABI 3130 XL (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA) of the Laboratório Temático de Biologia Molecular (LTBM), at the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA).…”

Alopoglossus is a Neotropical lizard genus the taxonomy of which has extensively evolved over the past decade. Previous works suggest that many species still remain unnamed in this genus. Here, we expand the knowledge of Alopoglossus diversity in Amazonian lowlands. Molecular phylogenetic relationships, and species boundaries, were inferred based on the variation of mitochondrial (Cytb and ND4) and nuclear (SNCAIP and PRLR) loci. Morphological variation was assessed through analyses of external morphology of 401 specimens, covering the entire distribution range of Alopoglossus angulatus and its closely related taxa, and hemipenes of five specimens were examined. Combined, our evidence supports the recognition of three new species. We describe these species and redefine A. amazonius sensu stricto, increasing the number of known Alopoglossus species to 18. Our study also presents the first detailed descriptions of hemipenes for the genus.

“…Importantly, these environments are heterogeneous and encompass patches of humid forested habitats (Mesquita et al, 2017). Although forested biomes (Figure 1) have higher precipitation and are composed chiefly of forested habitats (Franchito et al, 2009), they also include areas of open habitats (Moraes et al, 2020). Hence, it is crucial to account for habitat heterogeneity when assessing the drivers of adaptation and colonization within broad regions.…”

Aim: Species adapt differently to contrasting environments, such as open habitats with sparse vegetation and forested habitats with dense forest cover. We investigated colonization patterns in the open and forested environments in the diagonal of open formations and surrounding rain forests (i.e. Amazonia and Atlantic Forest) in Brazil, tested whether the diversification rates were affected by the environmental conditions and identified traits that enabled species to persist in those environments.
