Deuterocohnia is a small genus of bromeliads, with only 17 species, but has radiated into an extraordinary range of habitats, from sea level on the coasts of Chile and Peru coasts to 3900 m elevation in the Andes of Bolivia and Argentina. Li et al. use sequences of over 1800 nuclear genes and whole plastomes to infer relationships, reconstruct the evolution of morphology and ecology, and evaluate historical biogeography. They found rapid adaptive divergence, two convergent origins of the cushion-plant habit, recurrent effects of the Rio Pilcomaya barrier on speciation and chloroplast capture. Deuterocohnia arose in southeastern Bolivia, and—as shown by this stochastic mapping—repeatedly evolved up- and downslope into other habitats from Andean Yungas on steep slopes at mid-elevation.

A stunning Bay-headed Tanager from Cerro Azul, Panama
This was the only mountain habitat we were at for the entire 11 days, which meant a number of species we wouldn't find in the lowlands!

A new review provides an updated generic key and looks at the systematic history of the #neotropical tribe Spathicarpeae, which consists of 14 genera distributed from southern Mexico to Uruguay.

There's a Piping Guan in SE Brazil, but it says they're easiest to see in September-October, and I'm not sure it'd be on the itinerary anyway. I'll probably have to wait until I get to Trinidad & Tobago one day to see this dope as hell genus.

The #bamboo genus #Guadua (#Poaceae) is an important economic and ecological species in the #neotropics. Great paper to understand a bit more about its #evolution and #biogeography: doi.org/10.1002/ajb2...
I traveled to the #Neotropics for the first time in my life a month ago. It was as spectacular of a trip as I could've imagined and beyond. I was extremely fortunate to photograph my all time favorite bird on the planet, a #HarpyEagle, in Darién National Park, Panama

Trop Bio lab alumnus, Dr. Diego Ocampo, published the final chapter of his amazing dissertation on hybridization in #birds of #Neotropics. Through field experiments, we find that plumage traits distinct between populations are not used in species recognition.
