Fierce debate surrounds the history of organisms in the southern hemisphere; did
Gondwanan break-up produce ocean barriers that imposed distribution patterns on …

The extraordinarily wide distributional ranges of aquatic flowering plants have long
stimulated phytogeographical discussion. Although aquatic plants occur rarely among the …

Aim Three common patterns have emerged in comparative phylogeographic analyses at
many barriers:(1) a potential geographic pseudocongruence of lineage divergences;(2) a …

Biogeography, first published in 1983, is one of the most comprehensive text and general
reference books in the natural sciences. The fifth edition builds on the strengths of previous …

▪ Abstract Biological invasions of marine habitats have been common, and many patterns
emerge from the existing literature. In North America, we identify 298 nonindigenous species …

Aim The dispersal and distribution patterns of many marine organisms are driven by
oceanographic conditions, which are influenced by global climate. Climate‐driven …

1 Dramatic reductions in dispersal potential are characteristic of many diverse taxa, both
plants and animals, on oceanic islands. This paper documents the same trend of reduced …

Aim Phylogeographical breaks may reflect historical or present‐day impediments to gene
flow, and the congruence of these breaks across multiple species lends insight into …

Ecologists have, up to now, widely regarded colonization of islands from continents as a one-
way journey, mainly because of widely accepted assertions that less diverse island …

Historical and modern migrations and dispersal of most marine organisms (intertidal,
benthic, meiofaunal, planktonic, nektonic, or neustonic) are classically interpreted in terms of …
