Abstract

Phylogeography aims to understand the principles and processes governing the geographic distribution of intra-specific or closely related species’ lineages, based on the spatial distribution of gene genealogies. Some phylogeographic studies of Atlantic Forest (AF) organisms revealed three main phylogeographic discontinuities occurring in different organisms associated to glaciations and neo-tectonic activities during the Quaternary. However, it is still necessary to study more organisms from this biome to build a hypothesis on dynamics of diversification that generated the diversity in the AF
