A new biodiversity metric called phylogeographic endemism has been developed by scientists to understand the influence of recurring climatic shifts on current patterns of genetic diversity. A team of researchers from the City College of New York led by biologist Dr. Ana Carnaval analyzed the effects of current and past climatic variation on the genetic diversity of 25 vertebrates in the highly diverse yet much threatened Brazilian Atlantic rainforest.
