| permanent genetic resources added to molecular ecology resources database 1 june 2011-31 july 2011. | this article documents the addition of 112 microsatellite marker loci and 24 pairs of single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) sequencing primers to the molecular ecology resources database. loci were developed for the following species: agelaius phoeniceus, austrolittorina cincta, circus cyaneus, circus macrourus, circus pygargus, cryptocoryne × purpurea ridl. nothovar. purpurea, mya arenaria, patagioenas squamosa, prochilodus mariae, scylla serrata and scytalopus speluncae. these loci were cross-t ... | 2011 | 21951598 |
| on identification errors in <i>scytalopus</i> <i>speluncae</i> (ménétriés) and <i>s. pachecoi</i> maurício from southern brazil with new data on distribution and biogeography of these taxa (aves: rhinocryptidae). | the brazilian tapaculo scytalopus speluncae species-group has been the subject of intense taxonomic work in the past 18 years, with six new species being named in that time lapse and other taxonomic problems having been highlighted (bornschein et al. 1998, 2007; maurício 2005; raposo et al. 2006, 2012; mata et al. 2009; whitney et al. 2010; maurício et al. 2010, 2014; pulido-santacruz et al. 2016). one of the most persistent of these problems involves the oldest name in this group, s. speluncae ... | 2017 | 29245548 |
| multiple evolutionary units and demographic stability during the last glacial maximum in the scytalopus speluncae complex (aves: rhinocryptidae). | the atlantic forest (af) of south america harbors one of the world's highest bird species richness, but to date there is a deficient understanding of the spatial patterns of genetic diversity and the evolutionary history of this biome. here we estimated the phylogenetic and populational history of the widespread mouse-colored tapaculo (scytalopus speluncae) complex across the brazilian af, using data from two mitochondrial genes and 12 microsatellite loci. both markers uncovered several cryptic, ... | 2016 | 27233438 |
| nomenclatural issues in ornithology: the incredible controversy on the identity of a long overlooked brazilian bird. | the identity of scytalopus speluncae (ménétriés, 1835) (aves: passeriformes: rhinocryptidae), a tapaculo from southeastern brazil, has been the matter of debate during the last eight years. a group of ornithologists considers that the nomen scytalopus speluncae should be attributed to a species endemic to coastal mountains of southeastern brazil, whereas another group considers it a species from the drier environments of another mountain belt in minas gerais, southeastern brazil. both research g ... | 2013 | 25277909 |
