Biogeographic Patterns of South American Anurans
Tiago S. Vasconcelos, Fernando R. da Silva, Tiago G. dos Santos, Vitor H. M. Prado, Diogo B. ProveteThis 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.
