The ‘dry diagonal’ is a very diverse and biogeographically important region in South America. However, its diversity is still underestimated and little is known about the processes that originated its biota. To investigate the relevance of geological and climatic events in the diversification processes, we conducted a multilocus range-wide approach for Dermatonotus muelleri, a fossorial frog endemic to the dry diagonal. We found two geographically structured lineages, well defined in both mitochondrial (NAD2) and nuclear (POMC and TMEM) genes. The estimates of lineage divergence, between the Miocene and Pliocene, corroborate the idea that Neogene orogeny events were crucial for the main diversification events in the dry diagonal. The influe...
