Phylogeography of birds: revealing the biogeographical history of the Atlantic Forest

The Atlantic Forest (AF) houses a megadiverse avifauna, with around 200 endemics. We have been gathering phylogeographic data of AF birds to help to understand the history of this biome. It is clear that there is no unique pattern of population structure and demographic history that fits to all the species. We will show congruencies and idiosyncrasies found in more than 20 species analyzed so far. Also, we will discuss how these results fit in the biogeographic scenario of the AF.
