Abstract excerpt
Studies of the distribution of South American taxa have identified several areas of endemism that may have contributed to the historical diversification of the region. We constructed a phylogeny of Glyphorynchus spirurus (Aves: Dendrocolaptidae) populations using mtDNA sequence data from portions of cytochrome b, NADH dehydrogenase subunit II (ND2), and complete NADH dehydrogenase subunit III (ND3). Using this...
