• Niche divergence among closely related taxa provides insight on evolutionary patterns of ticks 

      Cuervo, Pablo Fernando; Flores, Fernando Sebastián; Venzal, José Manuel; Nava, Santiago (Wiley, 2021-09)
      Aim: Understanding the degree to which closely related taxa diverge in their niche traits could provide insight on their evolutionary patterns, as well as shed some light on the mechanisms underpinning broad-scale biogeographic ...
