Reconstructing the phylogeny of "Buarremon" brush-finches and near relatives (Aves, Emberizidae) from individual gene treesAlexander Flórez-Rodríguez
Laboratorio de Biología Evolutiva de Vertebrados, Departamento de Ciencias Biologicas, Universidad de Los Andes, Apartado 4976, Bogota, Colombia
Mol Phylogenet Evol 58:297-303. 2011....
Latitude, elevational climatic zonation and speciation in New World vertebratesCarlos Daniel Cadena
Departamento de Ciencias Biologicas, Laboratorio de Biología Evolutiva de Vertebrados, Universidad de Los Andes, Apartado 4976 Bogotá, Colombia
Proc Biol Sci 279:194-201. 2012..Our study exemplifies the power of combining phylogenetic and spatial datasets of global climatic variation to explore evolutionary (rather than purely ecological) explanations for the high biodiversity of tropical montane regions...
Evolutionary differentiation in the Neotropical montane region: molecular phylogenetics and phylogeography of Buarremon brush-finches (Aves, Emberizidae)Carlos Daniel Cadena
Department of Biology and International Center for Tropical Ecology, University of Missouri St Louis, One University Boulevard, St Louis, MO 63121, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 44:993-1016. 2007..Moreover, five divergent lineages of B. torquatus occur within Colombia, highlighting the importance of dense sampling in northwest South America for studies on diversification of widespread Neotropical lineages...
Testing the role of interspecific competition in the evolutionary origin of elevational zonation: an example with Buarremon brush-finches (Aves, Emberizidae) in the neotropical mountainsCarlos Daniel Cadena

Evolution 61:1120-36. 2007....
Testing the molecular and evolutionary causes of a 'leapfrog' pattern of geographical variation in colorationC D Cadena
Laboratorio de Biología Evolutiva de Vertebrados, Departamento de Ciencias Biologicas, Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota, Colombia
J Evol Biol 24:402-14. 2011..In contrast to views that genetic drift drives phenotypic differentiation in Neotropical montane birds, our results imply that geographical variation preceding speciation may reflect the action of deterministic selective processes...
No population genetic structure in a widespread aquatic songbird from the NeotropicsCarlos Daniel Cadena
Departamento de Ciencias Biologicas, Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota, Colombia
Mol Phylogenet Evol 58:540-5. 2011..The phenotypic and behavioral variation among populations of our study species appears to have arisen recently and perhaps in the face of gene flow...
Ecological speciation along an elevational gradient in a tropical passerine bird?L M Caro
Laboratorio de Biología Evolutiva de Vertebrados, Departamento de Ciencias Biologicas, Universidad de Los Andes, Apartado, Bogota, Colombia
J Evol Biol 26:357-74. 2013..The adaptive value of phenotypic differences between populations requires additional study...
Ecology: is speciation driven by species diversity?Carlos Daniel Cadena
Department of Biology, University of Missouri, St Louis, Missouri 63121, USA
Nature 438:E1-2; discussion E2. 2005..We therefore suggest that species richness and endemism are correlated fortuitously owing to their mutual dependence on the life spans of populations on islands, which is unrelated to speciation itself...
