Historical biogeography and speciation in the Neotropical highlands: Molecular phylogenetics of the jay genus Cyanolyca
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 50: 618–632

We learn that populations of Cyanolyca viridicyanus north (C. v. jolyaea) and south (C. v. cyanolaema and C. v. viridicyanus) of the Río Apurimac valley show dramatic molecular differences and this genetic differentiation coincides with discrete morphological differences. The reciprocal monophyly and diagnosability of two historical and evolutionarily independent entities are supported and on these grounds Elisa proposes to recognize Cyanolyca viridicyanus (Lafresnaye and d’Orbigny, 1838) and Cyanolyca jolyaea (Bonaparte, 1852) as two different species.
