Using molecular phylogenetics and species distribution modeling to test the role of orogeny and paleoclimate change in driving allopatry in a frog of the northern Colombian Andes

"We evaluate the role of the Northern Andes high peaks and the Magdalena Valley, creating barriers to dispersal and promoting vicariance among mid-elevation populations of Rheobates palmatus (Aromobatidae). Frog populations are limited to the eastern and western flanks of the Eastern Cordillera...
