ABSTRACT
Evolutionary biogeography integrates distributional, phylogenetic, molecular, and paleontological data in order to discover biogeographic patterns exhibited by plant and animal taxa, and assess the historical changes that have shaped biotic assembly (Morrone, 2009). Biogeographic regionalizations are hierarchical classifications categorizing geographic areas in terms of their endemic taxa and their relationships. They represent the syntheses of different evolutionary biogeographic analyses and, at the same time, constitute the background knowledge of other studies (e.g., systematic, ecological, or evolutionary).
