Resumen:
Living New World marsupials comprise ca. 120 species included in three orders, extending from northern North America (Canada-U.S.A. border) to southern Argentina (48° South), with a higher richness in tropical and subtropical areas of Central and South America, declining with increasing latitude. The influence of climate throughout their evolution resulted in a distinctive, yet poorly studied chorology. We describe the distribution patterns and main climatic constraints that shape New World marsupial distribution, integrate this information with their global conservation status generating comparative maps at different taxonomic categories (e.g., order, subfamily, tribe, genus), and describe the areas with highest conservation value for American marsupials.
