The Tropical Andes is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, yet the origin of this diversity remains poorly understood. One long-standing hypothesis proposes that diversification occurred due to vicariance and allopatry in Pleistocene forest refuges. In contrast, recent studies suggest that the uplift of the Andes, during the Miocene-Pliocene boundary, provided opportunities for both allopatric and ecological speciation. In the present study I tested these hypotheses as well as other process (i.e. center of origin vs center of accumulation hypotheses) that might explain current patterns of neotropical diversity. In particular, I used population genetic tools, ecological data and species-level phylogenetic information to address q...
