Aim A detailed database of distributions and phylogenetic relationships of native Hawaiian
flowering plant species is used to weigh the relative influences of environmental and …

Abstract The Maui Nui complex of the Hawaiian Islands consists of the islands of Maui,
Moloka'i, Lāna'i, and Kaho'olawe, which were connected as a single landmass in the past …

Abstract The biota of Hawaiian Islands is derived entirely from long distance dispersal, often
followed by in situ speciation. Species descended from each colonist constitute …

The current high islands of the Hawaiian archipelago are among the most remote land
masses in the world. They lie 3500 km from California, the nearest continental source, and …

The Hawaiian flora, because of its great isolation, high levels of endemism, known lineages,
and high rates of endangerment, offers unique opportunities to explore patterns of …

Biodiversity patterns emerge as a consequence of evolutionary and ecological processes.
Their relative importance is frequently tested on model ecosystems such as oceanic islands …

Botanists have long considered the origins of the Hawaiian flora in terms of long‐distance
dispersal from particular source areas. We extensively reviewed phylogenetic studies of the …

The Hawaiian archipelago is arguably the world's finest natural laboratory for the study of
evolution and patterns of speciation. Arthropods comprise over 75% of the endemic biota of …

This study quantifies long–term landscape changes in the Hawaiian archipelago relating to
dispersal, speciation and extinction. Accounting for volcano growth, subsidence and …

Aim This paper describes known patterns in the distributions and relationships of Hawaiian
freshwater fishes, and compares these patterns with those exhibited by Hawaii's terrestrial …
