Abstract

Weir and Schluter (Reports, 16 March 2007, p. 1574) used variation in the age distribution of sister species to estimate that recent rates of speciation decline toward the tropics. However, this conclusion may be undermined by taxonomic biases, sampling artifacts, and the sister-species method, all of which tend to underestimate diversification rates at low latitudes.

4. Complex phylogeographic structure has been reported in several Neotropical “species ” including Glyphorhynchus spirurus ( 14 ) Lepidothrix coronata ( 15 ) and Buarremon torquatus ( 16 ). Numerous tropical “species ” including many in Weir and Schluter's data set (e.g. Cnemotriccus fuscatus Grallaria rufula Xiphorhynchus ocellatus and Sittasomus griseicapillus ) are thought to represent 2 to 10 species-level taxa.
