| Abstract | The riverine barrier hypothesis has been extensively explored in Neotropical rainforests, while its importance in drier regions such as the Caatinga, a seasonally dry tropical forest in northeastern Brazil, has only recently received more attention. The Caatinga is bisected by the São Francisco River (SFR), which has long been suggested to be an important biogeographic feature in the region. However, recent studies have found mixed support for the role of the SFR as a hard barrier, most of them relying on the presence or absence of genetic breaks congruent with its course. Here, we used published multilocus and next-generation data from six vertebrate species to test the SFR’s strength as a barrier. Using model-based approaches (approximate Bayesian computation and supervised machine learning), we tested demographic models incorporating full, intermediate, and zero migration across the SFR, estimating divergence times and migration rates for each species. We found support for the SFR’s role as a barrier, allowing gene flow for some species. Estimated divergence times varied among species but are limited to the late Pleistocene, coherent with one of several proposed paleocourse changes in the river’s geological history. Contrary to the mixed results of previous studies, our study supports the SFR as an important phylogeographic barrier across different taxonomic groups, driving diversification in the Caatinga. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
