In March 2012, the authors met at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) in
Durham, North Carolina, USA, to discuss approaches and cooperative ventures in Indo …

Dispersal is often risky to the individual, yet the long-term survival of populations depends
on having a sufficient number of individuals that move, find each other, and locate suitable …

Inference of shared history, based on congruence between the topological structure of
cladograms for lineages, and the geographic distributions of lineages is becoming …

Aim Much of our current understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes comes
from island research. With the increasing availability of data on distributions and …

The relationship between potential and realized dispersal has rested generally on indirect
techniques to estimate widespread larval movement. A few studies have taken advantage of …

This paper evaluates whether the floating island model is a plausible transoceanic mode of
dispersal among small to medium-sized land vertebrates. The actual Atlantic Ocean served …

The interaction of local populations has been the focus of an increasing number of studies in
the past 30 years. The study of source-sink dynamics has especially generated much …

Aim The number of alien species has been increasing for centuries world‐wide, but
temporal changes in the dynamics of their inter‐regional spread remain unclear. Here, we …

Aim The aim of this study was to understand whether the large‐scale biogeographical
patterns of the species–area, species–island age and species–isolation relationships …

Aim Recently discovered deep phylogenetic gaps in coastal California marine taxa are
geographically discordant with the provincial biogeographic boundary at Point Conception …
