What is it about?
We analyzed species richness, functional diversity, and phylogenetic diversity of mammal assemblages in relation to abiotic variables and their variation across the biogeographic regions

Why is it important?
Our results showed contrasting patterns among biodiversity dimensions. The decoupled patterns of functional and phylogenetic diversity among the biogeographical regions highlight the complementarity between these dimensions and the importance of transitional regions, and suggest that several historical, environmental and ecological processes may be structuring mammal assemblages.
Perspectives
We hope to encourage the use of different approaches to measure spatial patterns of biodiversity
