Tropical rainforests are well known for their extraordinarily high levels of biodiversity. The
origin of this species richness is still debated. For instance, the museum hypothesis states …

Phylogenies with even a rough time scale can be used to investigate the history of non‐
volant taxa with disjunct distributions in widely separated land areas that were once …

The complex geological history of the Indonesian island Sulawesi has shaped the origin and
subsequent diversification of its taxa. For the endemic freshwater snail Tylomelania a …

Saimiri has a complicated taxonomic history, and there is continuing disagreement about the
number of valid taxa. Despite these controversies, one point of consensus among …

The biogeography of islands is often strongly influenced by prior geological events. Corucia
zebrata (Squamata: Scincidae) is endemic to the geologically complex Solomon …

Strepsirhines comprise 10 living or recently extinct families,≥ 50% of extant primate
families. Their phylogenetic relationships have been intensively studied, but common …

Island biotas have disproportionately influenced the history and development of evolutionary
biology, but understanding their genesis and evolution across geological timescales has …

Unbiased readings of fossils are well known to contradict some of the popular molecular
groupings among primates, particularly with regard to great apes and tarsiers. The …

The southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is characterized by complex topography
and a discontinuous landscape, creating a sky island situation. However, the way …

We used the results of phylogenetic analyses of relationships among spider monkeys
(Ateles) based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA to investigate questions of their …
