phylogenetic evaluation of taxonomic definition of didelphid mouse opossum of the genus thylamys from valleys of coquimbo region, chile.	only two species of didelphidae are currently recognized in chile, the sister species thylamys elegans, endemic of mediterranean ecorregion and thylamys pallidior, the inhabitant of the puna and desert canyons. three subspecies have been described for t. elegans: t. e. elegans, t. e. coquimbensis and t. e. soricinus. however, a recent study based on morphological analyses, synonymized t. elegans coquimbensis from the coquimbo valleys (30-31° s) with t. pallidior and proposed that t. elegans and ...	2016	27394783
hidden diversity in the andes: comparison of species delimitation methods in montane marsupials.	cryptic genetic diversity is a significant challenge for systematists faced with ever-increasing amounts of dna sequence data. computationally intensive coalescent-based analyses involving multiple unlinked loci are the only currently viable methods by which to assess the extent to which phenotypically similar populations (or metapopulations) are genetically distinct lineages. although coalescent-based approaches have been tested extensively via simulations, few empirical studies have examined t ...	2014	24096147
