Regional Climate Drives Spatial Variation in Species Richness in the Most Diverse Family of Neotropical Snakes (Colubroidea: Dipsadidae)
Our study investigated the relative importance of the macroecological and macroevolutionary factors driving the patterns of species richness of the hyperdiverse snake family Dipsadidae across the Ame...
