| Abstract: | Nowhere else on Earth are there so many species of plants and animals as in the Neotropical region. Yet, many questions remain concerning the causes underlying such outstanding diversification. In this thesis, I use a combination of molecular-based methods (phylogenetic inference, molecular dating, biogeographic reconstruction, analyses of diversification and extinction) together with geological, palaeontological, hydrological and climatological evidence to reconstruct the evolution of some N... more |
