Three forested dispersal corridors have been proposed within the diagonal of open/dry landscapes in South America and the relative importance of each one has been the subject of debate for forest organisms. We analysed the biogeographical history of three snake genera ( Bothrops , Philodryas , and Micrurus ) from different families (Viperidae, Dipsadidae, and Elapidae, respectively) to test the corridors' importance. We recons...

Aims We aimed to provide a molecular phylogeny of all currently known and described Labiotermes species to clarify taxonomic relationships, including the synonymy of Paracornitermes , in order to reconstruct the historical biogeography of the genus and investigate the role of specific biogeographic domains in its diversification. Location South America. Taxon Termite genus Labiotermes (Isoptera: Termitidae). Methods A dated Ba...
