Non-monophyly and deep genetic differentiation across low-elevation barriers in a Neotropical montane bird (Basileuterus tristriatus; Aves: Parulidae)

Phylogeny and historical biogeography of gnateaters (Passeriformes, Conopophagidae) in the South America forests

“…2; Table 1). They overlap marginally in Cuzco, eastern Peru (Schulenberg et al, 2010), in a region with many species replacements, in the transition between the perhumid tropical Andes and the more seasonal ''yungas'' forest of eastern Peru and Bolivia (Bonaccorso, 2009;Gutiérrez-Pinto et al, 2012;Isler et al, 2012). We also detected divergent lineages in C. castaneiceps that split in the late Pliocene ( Fig.…”

Colombian Frozen Biodiversity: 16 Years of the Tissue Collection of the Humboldt Institute

“…All these issues are more relevant when it is considered that IAvH-CT is focused on a megadiverse country, and that the policies of Colombia (e.g., Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, 2013a; Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, 2013b) do not allow the existence of a similar collection in other country. In fact, the bird samples (a large part of them associated to specimen vouchers in Colección de Aves de Colombia del Instituto Humboldt, IAvH-A) positioned IAvH-CT among the most relevant tissue collections of birds in the world (Stoeckle and Winker, 2009), and have allowed to conduct barcoding projects (Gonzalez and Paz, 2013) and have contributed in understanding different evolutionary aspects of the Neotropical species (e.g., Cadena et al, 2007;Puebla-Olivares et al, 2008;Mauck III and Burns, 2009;Parra et al, 2009;Parra, 2010;Sedano and Burns, 2010;Chaves et al, 2011;d'Horta et al, 2012;Gutíerrez-Pinto et al, 2012;Rheindt et al, 2013;Valderrama et al, 2014).…”

Supplemental Material for 'A revision of the didelphid marsupial genus Marmosops. Part 1, Species of the subgenus Sciophanes. (Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, no. 402)'

“…Remarks: The known geographic ranges of Marmosops chucha and M. magdalenae are separated by the Río Magdalena, an important geographic barrier (Chapman, 1917;Gutiérrez-Pinto et al, 2012), and they differ from one another by about 5.9% in average uncorrected pairwise comparisons of partial cytochrome-b sequences. Although additional phenotypic and genetic evidence that these are fully differentiated species would be welcome, the results at hand seem sufficient to justify their recognition as such in the context of this revision.…”

“…Etymology: For the Río Magdalena, economically and culturally the most important river of Colombia, and a well-known dispersal barrier for the terrestrial vertebrate fauna of northwestern South America (Chapman, 1917;Gutiérrez-Pinto et al, 2012).…”
