We investigate the evolutionary mechanisms that allow morphologically convergent lineages to share the same geographical space. We compared the evolutionary events that occurred along the diversification of Karawata and Aechmea subgen. Chevaliera in the Atlantic Forest by (a) verifying whether the climatic niches and habitats of Karawata and Chevaliera are similar; (b) testing whether the two groups had the same pattern of colonization in the Atlantic Forest; and (c) evaluating whether they had the same evolutionary dynamics of environmental space occupation.

不同的地理和生态动力学使大西洋森林中形态上趋同的巨型凤梨科植物多样化

我们调查的进化机制，使形态上趋同的谱系共享相同的地理空间。我们比较了发生在Karawata和Aechmea亚基因多样化过程中的进化事件。Chevaliera在大西洋森林通过（a）验证的气候壁龛和生境是否Karawata和Chevaliera是相似的; （b）测试两组在大西洋森林中的定居模式是否相同；（c）评估它们是否具有相同的环境空间占领进化动力。
