Species and range evolution in Amazonian amphibians
It is challenging to explain amphibian history and diversity in Amazonia. Our molecular-, field- and model-based research contributes towards a better understanding of the role of long distance dispersal, how elevation and secondary contact contribute to evolutionary change within or between species, in particular the identification of cryptic species diversity (and also not forgetting to formally name them). Additionally, we contribute to the neglected question why indeed there are wide-spread species.
