EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Untangling the History of Neotropical Biodiversity: The Big Picture
Lúcia G. Lohmann, University of California, Berkeley
This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.
About this seminar: Few issues have been as intriguing and exciting to scientists as the origin and evolution of Neotropical Biodiversity. Yet relatively little is still known about the evolutionary relationships among Neotropical organisms and the factors that have shaped the high species diversity found in this region. Integrative approaches, including information from systematics, ecology, evolution, geology, and climatology are crucial to better understand the drivers of species diversity. To improve our understanding of the history of Neotropical biodiversity, I combine detailed studies focused on key Neotropical lineages with broad-scale studies that look at biotas as a whole.
