The biogeographic history of a species results from responses to past and current processes, and understanding those responses at both temporal scales is essential. We explored phylogeographic and current genetic variation structure in Ctenomys flamarioni —a subterranean rodent that inhabits a small region of the coastal plain of Brazil—and contrasted the roles of "present-day niche suitability" versus "historical climate stability" to understand current and past intraspecific genetic diversity. We used both mitochondrial DNA sequences (concatenated Cytb and D-loop , n = 78) and nuclear DNA (9 microsatellites loci, n = 154) molecular markers for individuals across the entire distribution of the species. We used phylogeographic trees, Bayesian clustering, and haplotype networks to explore genetic variation and diversity. We correlated genetic diversity with measures of current niche suitability and potential areas of Late Quaternary paleostability. Phylogeographic patterns confirmed low levels of genetic diversity structured at different hierarchical levels. We also found a weak but significant pattern of isolation by distance, indicating that geographical distance partially modulates genetic differences among populations. We also observed a positive correlation between genetic diversity and climate paleostability for microsatellites at local and regional scales. However, we found no significant association between genetic diversity and niche suitability for microsatellites at local or regional scales. We observed several signatures of bottleneck and population expansion at different geographic scales. Our results suggest that Quaternary climatic fluctuations—acting together with habitat suitability and other contemporary factors—played a fundamental role in elucidating the evolutionary history of the species—including patterns of historical dispersal, and current patterns of habitat occupation and genetic structure. In addition, based on our molecular and environmental data sets from the across the range of the species and considering the restricted endemism of C. flamarioni , we emphasize the urgency of conservation actions to protect this endangered species.

Oxymycterus é um dos principais gêneros com taxonomia controversa dentro da subfamília Sigmodontinae, em especial pela dificuldade em detectar variações morfológicas e citogenéticas discretas. De origem recente (~ 2 milhões de anos atrás), 15 espécies nominais atualmente são reconhecidas, porém, a delimitação genética entre essas formas, distribuição geográfica e história natural, é ainda desconhecida para diversos táxons. Esse gênero tem sido alvo de diversos estudos de sistemática, os quais proporcionaram avanços na taxonomia alfa; entretanto, as espécies ocorrentes extremo no sul da Floresta Atlântica e nos Pampas (i.e., O. nasutus, O. quaestor, O. delator e O. dasytrichus) foram em grande parte negligenciadas, permanecendo abertos aspectos fundamentais da taxonomia, história evolutiva e biogeografia dos táxons endêmicos a esses biomas. Assim, essa tese tem como objetivo central caracterizar padrões de variação genética e morfológica em formas de Oxymycterus, em especial Oxymycterus nasutus e Oxymycterus quaestor ocorrentes no extremo sul da Floresta Atlântica e Pampas. Utilizou-se uma abordagem integrativa com marcadores moleculares, morfometria do crânio, modelos de nicho ecológico e reconstrução de áreas ancestrais de forma a inferir (1) padrões de diferenciação populacional e de linhagens filogenéticas, (2) influência de fatores ambientais na variação observada, e (3) padrões biogeográficos relacionados a história evolutiva. Para O. nasutus, os resultados indicaram marcada variação genética e morfológica intraspecífica. Seis clados de mtDNA foram encontrados, estruturando populações ocorrentes no Pampa e Mata Atlântica em grupos distintos; diferenças na forma do crânios entre as linhagens nas duas ecorregiões foram detectadas. Considerando que os seis clados se estruturaram concomitante ao último período interglacial, a redução em condições adequadas durante esse período pode ter resultado em um possível processo de vicariância associado ao isolamento em refúgio. Também se verificou que O. nasutus possui um gradiente 7 latitudinal de variação da forma e tamanho do crânio, sendo os maiores tamanhos encontrados mais ao norte da distribuição (nos domínios da Mata Atlântica) e os menores mais ao sul (nos Pampas). Além disso, apesar da influência genética e ambiental atuar em conjunto para a forma, os atributos ambientais influenciram significativamente o tamanho do crânio. Durante as revisão de Oxymycterus nas coleções científicas se identificou um material associado a O. delator como algo distinto, o que resultou na descrição de uma nova espécie, Oxymycterus itapeby, que habita uma área de transição entre o Cerrado Meridional e a Mata Atlântica no Sul e Sudeste do Brasil. Oxymycterus itapeby é diferenciada das demais espécies pelo tamanho e forma do crânio, em particular por uma combinação de características cranianas. Uma análise filogenética bayesiana mostrou que Oxymycterus itapeby. representa um grupo monofilético, relacionado a O. delator e O. amazonicus. Por fim, uma abordagem taxonômica e filogeográfica do ‘grupo judex’ revelou o status de espécie para Oxymycterus quaestor com limites conspícuos em relação a O. judex e O. misionalis. Ainda, os dados evidenciaram três linhagens associadas, sendo duas com potencial status de espécie distintas, sendo a mais divergente ocorrente no domínios dos campos de altitude no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, e outra restrita a Serra dos Órgãos no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Oxymycterus is one of the main genera with controversial taxonomy within the subfamily Sigmodontinae, in particular for the difficulty to detect discrete morphological and cytogenetic variations. From recent origin (~ 2 millions years ago), 15 nominal species are currently recognized, but the genetic delimitation between these forms, and the knowledge on geographic distribution and natural history, are broadly scarce for several taxa. Several systematic studies have been performed on this genus, which provided advances in the alpha taxonomy; however, species occurring at the extreme south of the Atlantic Forest and in the Pampas (i.e, O. nasutus, O. quaestor, O. delator and O. dasytrichus) have been neglected, therefore, fundamental aspects of taxonomy, evolutionary history and biogeography are entirely open. This dissertation characterized patterns of genetic and morphological variation in forms of Oxymycterus endemic to Atlantic Forest and Pampas ecoregions, especially Oxymycterus nasutus and Oxymycterus quaestor. An integrative approach with molecular markers, skull morphometry, ecological niche models and reconstruction of ancestral areas were carried out with the objective of inferring (1) patterns of population differentiation and phylogenetic lineages, (2) influence of environmental factors on intraspecific variation, and (3) biogeographic patterns related to the evolutionary history. For O. nasutus, the results indicated marked genetic variation and intraspecific morphology. Six clades of mtDNA were found, which structured populations from Pampas and Atlantic Forest in distinct groups; differences in the skulls shape between lineages in the two ecoregions were detected. Considering that six clades were structured concomitantly with the last interglacial maximum, the reduction in adequate conditions during this period may have resulted in a possible vicariance process associated with isolation in refuge. It was also found that O. nasutus has a latitudinal gradient of variation of cranium shape and size, with the largest sizes found more to the north of the distribution (in the 9 Atlantic Forest domain) and the smaller ones to the south (in the Pampas). Despite of genetic and environmental influence acting together for the shape, environmental attributes significantly influenced the size of the skull. During the review of Oxymycterus specimens in the scientific collections a specific material associated with O. delator was identified as something distinct, which resulted in the description of a new species, Oxymycterus itapeby, which inhabits an area of transition between the Southern Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest in the South and Southeast of Brazil. Oxymycterus itapeby can be differentiated from other species of Oxymycterus by the size and shape of the skull, in particular by a combination of cranial characteristics. A Bayesian phylogenetic analysis showed that Oxymycterus itapeby represents a monophyletic group, related to O. delator and O. amazonicus. Finally, a taxonomic and phylogeographic approach of the 'judex group' revealed the status for Oxymycterus quaestor with conspicuous boundaries relative to O. judex and O. misionalis. In addition, the data showed three associated lineages, two of which have potential status of distinct species, being the most divergent in the highlands of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and another restricted to Serra dos Órgãos in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Filogeografia ,Eucecidoses minutanus Brèthes - Abstract
We investigated the molecular phylogenetic divergence and historical biogeography of the gall-inducing micromoth Eucecidoses minutanus Brèthes (Cecidosidae) in the Neotropical region, which inhabits a wide range and has a particular life history associated with Schinus L. (Anacardiaceae). We characterize patterns of genetic variation based on 2.7 kb of mitochondrial DNA sequences in populations from the Parana Forest, Araucaria Forest, Pampean, Chacoan and Monte provinces. We found that the distribution pattern coincides with the Peripampasic orogenic arc, with most populations occurring in the mountainous areas located east of the Andes and on the Atlantic coast. The phylogeny revealed a marked geographically structured differentiation, which highlights a first split into two major clades: western (Monte and Chacoan) and eastern (Pampean and coastal forests). Together with AMOVA and network analysis, phylogeny revealed the existence of six well-defined lineages, which are isolated by distance. The TMRCA for Eucecidoses was estimated at ca. 65 Mya, and the divergence among major clades occurred by the Plio-Pleistocene ca. 20–25 Mya, with the extant six lineages emerging about 0.9 to 5.7 Mya (later than the rise of Schinus). These results are associated with a diversification pattern of either a late burst of speciation or early extinction. Population range expansion for some lineages concurring with major climatic changes that occurred during the wet–dry events of the Pleistocene in the region was recovered in both neutrality tests and past dynamics through time analysis. A possible biogeographic scenario reconstructed suggests that Eucecidoses likely emerged from a central meta-population in the south and later dispersed (ca. 38 Mya) using western and eastern as two major routes. Thus, a combination of dispersal and vicariance events that occurred in the ancestral populations might have shaped the current distribution of extant lineages. Speciation driven by host plant shift is potentially involved in the evolutionary history of Eucecidoses.

- Abstract
We present a new assessment of the genetic and morphological variation within Oxymycterus quaestorThomas, 1903, which currently includes the junior synonyms O. judexThomas, 1909 and O. misionalisSanborn, 1931. We integrate distinct lines of evidence, including variation of mitochondrial (Cytochrome b[Cytb]) and nuclear (intron 7 of beta fibrinogen gene [Fgb]) sequences, and the assessment of skull quantitative traits based on geometric morphometrics, throughout the Atlantic Forest of Southeastern-Southern Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. Phylogenetic relationships based on Cytbindicate that O. quaestoris structured in four well-supported clades (lineages A–D), one of them (lineage C) including topotypes of a previously associated nominal form (O. judex). However, these Cytblineages exhibit lower levels of differentiation based on the Fgblocus, and are not recovered in the genealogies of this nuclear marker, representing a case of mitonuclear discordance. The Cytblineages also broadly overlapped in the morphospace both in skull shape and size, which sustain the current wider concept of O. quaestoras one single young species (0.947 Myr) that is recently expanding, and ultimately branching out, in the Atlantic Forest.

Orientador : Prof. Dr. Tales Renato O. de Freitas Co-orientadora : Profª Drª Iris Hass Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Biológicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Genética. Defesa: Curitiba, 27/03/2015 Inclui referências Área de concentração Resumo: O gênero Oxymycterus possui uma taxonomia bastante confusa, sendo relativamente mal entendido os reais limites entre as espécies, suas relações filogenéticas, distribuição e história natural. Algumas de suas espécies possuem ampla distribuição geográfica, ocorrendo em mais de uma formação fitofisionômica ou em mesmos biomas, geralmente em simpatria com congêneres de "distribuição restrita". Neste contexto, o presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar a variabilidade haplotípica de gênero Oxymycterus no Brasil Meridional (Estados do PR, SC e RS), através do sequenciamento do gene mitocondrial citocromo b (cyt b) de 181 espécimes, utilizando também sequencias disponíveis em banco de dados públicos (Genbank) como referencia, com o intuito de investigar as potenciais espécies existentes na Região Sul. Apesar de a literatura relatar quatro táxons para o Sul do Brasil, a análise filogenética Bayesiana revelou a existência predominante de duas espécies na região (O. nasutus e O. aff. quaestor) e a inédita extensão de ocorrência de um táxon cuja distribuição na Mata Atlântica restringia-se até então a região Sudeste (O. dasytrichus). A inferência Bayesiana também revelou possíveis erros de informações depositadas em banco de dados, levando a conflitos de identificação de uma amostra entre O. delator e O. amazonicus, e identificando potencialmente uma espécie nova registrada para regiões de Cerrado no Oeste do Estado do Paraná. Ainda de acordo com os resultados obtidos, O. nasutus e o "O. quaestor'' são linhagens com marcada estruturação interna. Oxymycterus nasutus formou clados distintos, dentre eles, dois grupos exclusivos que pertencem ao Planalto Meridional e a Planície Costeira/RS. A linhagem de O. quaestor possui distribuição somente no Planalto Meridional, e também apresentou marcada divisão em dois clados, indicando a possível existência de espécies crípticas dentro deste grupo, cuja divergência genética superou a média interespecífica do gênero (> 6%). Essa informação é forte evidência de uma potencial espécie nova no Sul do Brasil, que ainda necessita revisão de caracteres morfológicos comparativos às demais linhagens próximas para robusta definição. Palavras-Chave: Akodontini, Citocromo b, Filogenia Molecular, Sequenciamento Abstract: Quite confusing taxonomy, being relatively misunderstood over the limits between species, phylogenetic relationships, and the natural history and distribution of the group, some species of Oxymycterus have wide geographical distribution, occurring in more than one phytophysiognomic training or same biomes, usually with sympatric congeners "restricted distribution". In this context, the present study aimed to investigate the haplotype variability Oxymycterus kind in southern Brazil (PR, SC and RS states), by sequencing the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (cyt b) of 181 specimens, also using sequences available in public database (Genbank) as a reference, in order to investigate the potential species existing in the South. Although the literature report four taxa for the South Brazil, the Bayesian phylogenetic analysis revealed the existence of two predominant species in the region (O. nasutus and O. aff. quaestor) and the unprecedented extent of occurrence of a taxon whose distribution in the Atlantic Forest was restricted so far to Southeast (O. dasytrichus). The Bayesian inference also revealed possible error information deposited in the database, leading conflicts to identifying a sample of between O. delator and O. amazonicus, and potentially identifying a new recorded species to savannah regions in the west of Paraná. Also according to the results obtained, O. nasutus and "O. quaestor'' are markedly lines with internal structure. Oxymycterus nasutus formed distinct clades, including two exclusive groups belonging to the Southern Plateau and the Coastal Plain. The strain of O. quaestor has distribution only in the southern Plateau, and also showed marked division into two clades, indicating the possible existence of cryptic species within this group, whose genetic divergence exceeded interspecific average gender (> 6%). This information is strong evidence of a potential new species in southern Brazil, which still requires review of comparative morphological characters of other lineages to allow robust species definition. Keywords: Akodontini, Cytochrome b, molecular phylogeny, Sequencing.
