| Resumen: |
Este libro ofrece una visión general de los patrones de biodiversidad en varios ecosistemas neotropicales, así como un análisis de sus biogeografías históricas y los procesos de diversificación subyacentes. Todos los capítulos fueron escritos por destacados investigadores en los campos de la biología tropical, la ecología molecular, la climatología, la paleoecología y la geografía, lo que produce una colección excepcional de ensayos, análisis sintéticos e investigaciones novedosas que describen y mejoran nuestra comprensión de la biodiversidad de esta región única. Con capítulos sobre los bosques amazónicos y caribeños, las selvas atlánticas, los Andes, las sabanas del Cerrado, las tierras secas de Caatinga, el Chaco y Mesoamérica, junto con una amplia cobertura taxonómica, este libro resume una amplia gama de hipótesis, puntos de vista y métodos relacionados con los procesos y mecanismos de la diversificación neotropical. La gama de perspectivas presentadas hace del libro una publicación verdaderamente completa y de vanguardia sobre el tema, que fascinará tanto a los científicos como a los lectores en general. |

| Summary : |
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the patterns of biodiversity in various neotropical ecosystems, as well as a discussion on their historical biogeographies and underlying diversification processes. All chapters were written by prominent researchers in the fields of tropical biology, molecular ecology, climatology, paleoecology, and geography, producing an outstanding collection of essays, synthetic analyses, and novel investigations that describe and improve our understanding of the biodiversity of this unique region. With chapters on the Amazon and Caribbean forests, the Atlantic rainforests, the Andes, the Cerrado savannahs, the Caatinga drylands, the Chaco, and Mesoamerica Ѐ“ along with broad taxonomic coverage Ѐ“ this book summarizes a wide range of hypotheses, views, and methods concerning the processes and mechanisms of neotropical diversification. The range of perspectives presented makes the book a truly comprehensive, state-of-the-art publication on the topic, which will fascinate both scientists and general readers alike. |
