(1) Phylogeography of Amazonian mammals, using mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene sequences (joint studies with Maria Nazareth F. Da Silva, Jay R. Malcolm, Carlos A. Peres, Claude Gascon, Leonora P. Costa, and Yuri R. Leite)

 a monograph summarizing phylogeographic patterns of non-volant small mammals (selected marsupials and murid and echimyid rodents) was published in 2000 in the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, vol. 244. The following sets of maps and phylogenetic trees represent figures from that monograph:
