The world’s biodiversity is concentrated in tropical and subtropical regions, where most developing countries are also located. Due to limited financial resources, the use of genomic data to understand biodiversity, species and population relationships, and the evolution of non-model organisms is usually out of reach to local researchers, leading to a deficit of evolutionary knowledge in these regions of the globe. In light of this, the current research topic seeks to promote evolutionary studies (phylogenomics and population genomics) of tropical and subtropical biodiversity from developing countries. Researchers from developing countries, who established an international collaboration that allowed their respective projects’ execution, are more than encouraged to submit manuscripts.The aim of this Research Topic is to promote the application of genomic data on tropical and subtropical biodiversity of developing countries. We encourage article submissions that focus on the following:• Molecular systematics using any type of genomic approach; original research; review; mini review and methods• Population genomics using any type of genomic approach; original research; review; mini review and methods• Phylogeography using any type of genomic approach; original research; review; mini review and methodsIf the questions proposed are extremely relevant and the results are robust, studies using large datasets based on traditional methods of DNA sequencing will be considered.
