- Thirteen novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from the Amazonian Black Manakin, Xenopipo atronitens. The loci were screened using 30 samples from Brazil. A total of 13 loci were variable with number of alleles per locus ranging from 2 to 17, whilst the observed and expected heterozygosities varied from 0.067-0.900 and 0.310-0.910, respectively. Five loci deviated significantly from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, whereas one pair of loci deviated significantly from linkage disequilibrium. The set of markers will be a useful tool for future population genetic and kinship studies of X. atronitens, an Amazonian white-sand vegetation specialist.

- The development of a genomics-derived discipline within geology is timely, as a result of major advances in acquiring and processing geologically relevant genetic data. This paper articulates the emerging field of geogenomics, which involves the use of large-scale genetic data to constrain geological hypotheses. The paper introduces geogenomics and discusses how hypotheses can be addressed through collaboration between geologists and evolutionary biologists. As an example, geogenomic methods are applied to evaluate competing hypotheses regarding the timing of the Andean uplift, the closure of the Isthmus of Panama, the onset of trans-Amazon drainage, and Quaternary climate variation in the Neotropics.
