Biogeographic Patterns of South American Anurans, 1st ed. 2019

Langue : Anglais
Couverture de l’ouvrage Biogeographic Patterns of South American Anurans
This book analyzes different facets of anuran amphibian distribution in South America. We integrate alternative biological metrics employing cutting-edge methods to understand the dynamic processes underlying species distribution patterns. By using the modern biogeographic toolbox, we explore how richness gradients, phylogenetic diversity, functional diversity, and range size/endemism distribution of amphibians vary along the continent. Moreover, we present a robust proposal for priority areas for conservation of anurans in South America that maximizes representativeness of distinct biodiversity facets.
An Introduction to the Biogeography of South American Anurans.- South American Anurans: Species Diversity and Description Trends Through Time and Space.- Patterns of Species Richness, Range Size, and their Environmental Correlates of South American Anurans.- Spatial Distribution of Phylogenetic Diversity of South American Anurans.- Geographical Patterns of Functional Diversity of South American Anurans.- Biogeographic Regionalization of South American Anurans.- Spatial Conservation Prioritization for the Anuran Fauna of South America


TS Vasconcelos obtained his BS in Biological Sciences (2002) and MSc in Animal Biology (2005) both from the Sao Paulo State University (UNESP/Sao Jose do Rio Preto, SP, Brazil), and PhD in Biological Sciences-Zoology (2009) from the UNESP/Rio Claro (SP, Brazil). He was a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California – Irvine (Prof. Dr. Bradford A. Hawkins’ lab: 2010-2011). From 2012 to 2016 he was a Young Researcher fellow at the Department of Biological Sciences (UNESP/Bauru, SP, Brazil). Currently, he is a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Biological Sciences (UNESP/Bauru, SP, Brazil). His research focus on understanding patterns of species distributions in the Neotropics.

FR da Silva obtained his BS in Biological Sciences (2004) from the Sao Paulo State University (UNESP/Assis, SP, Brazil) and both MSc (2007) and PhD (2011) in Animal Biology from UNESP/São José do Rio Preto (SP, Brazil). He holds aProfessor position at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Federal University of São Carlos (UFScar/Sorocaba, SP, Brazil) since 2011. His research tries to understand the processes and mechanisms underlying amphibian species distribution at different spatial scales, focusing mainly on anuran species of Atlantic Forest and Cerrado.

TG Santos obtained his BS in Biological Science (2003) from Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM, RS, Brazil), and both MSc in Animal Biology (2005) and PhD in Biological Sciences-Zoology (2009) from the São Paulo State University (UNESP, SP, Brazil). He spent one year as post-doctoral fellow from the São Paulo State University (UNESP/Rio Claro, SP, Brazil). Since 2010, he holds a Professor position at the Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA). Currently, he also contributes to the Pos-Graduate Program in Animal Biodiversity of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), having mentored students for the MSc and PhD degrees in researcheson d

Although biogeographical patterns of amphibians have been explored in the literature, major focus is given to global-scale studies or to specific biogeographic approaches at a continental-scale In this book we revisit the macroecological patterns of amphibians already explored in the literature and add new approaches to understand amphibian distribution in South America. We will analyse the spatial patterns of phylogenetic (degree of relatedness of species) and functional diversity We will also propose biologically important areas for amphibian conservation in South America considering different biological metrics
