Studies of phylogeographic patterns provide insight into the processes driving lineage
divergence in a particular region. To identify the processes that caused phylogeographic …

The simple geographic structure of island systems often makes them tractable for studies of
the patterns and processes of biological diversification. The Calyptophilus chat‐tanagers of …

The Hawaiian Islands are home to a quarter of the named diversity of sandalwoods in the
genus Santalum. There has been considerable confusion on how to best interpret the …

Abstract The Hawaiian mints (Lamiaceae), one of the largest endemic plant lineages in the
archipelago, provide an excellent system to study rapid diversification of a lineage with a …

Abstract Comparison of the taxonomic, phylogenetic, and trait dimensions of beta diversity
may uncover the mechanisms that generate and maintain biodiversity, such as geographic …

The huge biodiversity found in Mesoamerica is often explained by its geographic situation
as a natural bridge between two large biogeographic regions. Often overlooked, however …

Oceanic islands have played a central role in biogeography and evolutionary biology. Here,
we review molecular studies of the endemic terrestrial fauna of the Hawaiian archipelago …

Taxa of the Viola alba complex were investigated using allozymes and morphometry. A
taxonomic revision is presented. A wide delimitation of V. alba with only three morphological …

Hawaii's forest bird community is the most insular and most endangered in the world and
serves as a case study for threatened species globally. Ten have disappeared in the past …
