Understanding the role of ecological divergence in the evolution of isolated populations in the Arremonops rufivirgatus species complex across Mesoamerica
Our results suggest that allopatric distributions in the three groups within the A. rufivirgatus complex probably evolved due to biotic interactions with ecologically similar species in the relatively environmentally continuous areas across the Gulf Slope, but to range contractions leading to isolation in the Yucatan and the Pacific groups.
