BIOGEOGRAPHY AND DIVERSIFICATION OF THE ANDEAN SEEDSNIPES (Thinocoridae): AN ANTARCTIC AVIAN LINEAGE ?

South America and the Andes harbour a rich biodiversity. High levels of in-situ speciation, survival of relict lineages into modern times, and mixing of biotas (Gondwanian and North American), have been demonstrated to contribute to the extant biodiversity. Here I examined the four species in the sh...
