Nat Commun . 2021 Sep; 12(1):5717. PMID: 34588433
The global increase in species richness toward the tropics across continents and taxonomic groups, referred to as the latitudinal diversity gradient, stimulated the formulation of many hypotheses to explain the...

Massardo D, VanKuren N, Nallu S, Ramos R, G Ribeiro P, Silva-Brandao K, et al.
BMC Biol . 2020 Jul; 18(1):84. PMID: 32620168
Background: Heliconius butterflies are widely distributed across the Neotropics and have evolved a stunning array of wing color patterns that mediate Müllerian mimicry and mating behavior. Their rapid radiation has...

De-Silva D, Mota L, Chazot N, Mallarino R, Silva-Brandao K, Pinerez L, et al.
Sci Rep . 2017 Apr; 7:45966. PMID: 28387233
The Neotropics harbour the most diverse flora and fauna on Earth. The Andes are a major centre of diversification and source of diversity for adjacent areas in plants and vertebrates,...

Silva-Brandao K, Santos T, Consoli F, Omoto C
J Econ Entomol . 2015 Oct; 108(1):307-16. PMID: 26470135
The sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.), is the main pest of sugarcane in Brazil. Genetic variability and gene flow among 13 Brazilian populations of the species were evaluated based on...

BMC Evol Biol . 2012 Jun; 12:82. PMID: 22690927
Background: The temporal and geographical diversification of Neotropical insects remains poorly understood because of the complex changes in geological and climatic conditions that occurred during the Cenozoic. To better understand...
