COLONIZATION OF DIFFERENT BIOMES DROVE THE DIVERSIFICATION OF THE NEOTROPICAL EIDMANACRIS CRICKETS (INSECTA: ORTHOPTERA: GRYLLOIDEA: PHALANGOPSIDAE).

Colonization of different biomes drove the diversification of the Neotropical Eidmanacris crickets (Insecta: Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae).

The phylogeny of the cricket genus Eidmanacris is used to analyse its historical distribution and diversification in three South American biomes: Entry Cabinet Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, and Chiquitano Dry Forest.A morphological phylogeny with all the 29 species of Eidmanacris and the Geographically explicit Event Model (GEM) is used to explain thei
