Aim Explanations of pantropical distributions are challenging for taxa that diverged during
the Cenozoic, after Gondwana broke apart. The 'boreotropics hypothesis' suggests that …

Capturing phylogenetic signal from a massive radiation can be daunting. The superfamily
Chalcidoidea is an excellent example of a hyperdiverse group that has remained recalcitrant …

Aim Understanding the historical biogeography of the Earth's oldest terrestrial lineages
provides insights into lineage diversification in relation to plate tectonics, climate change …

Plate reconstructions provide basic constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Antarctic
Peninsula but they are limited by a scarcity of paleomagnetic data. Here, using a …

Most living carnivorous marsupials lead a secretive and solitary existence. From tiny insect
eaters to the formidable Tasmanian Devil, Secret Lives of Carnivorous Marsupials offers rare …

Biogeographic patterns in the Southern Hemisphere have largely been attributed to vicariant
processes, but recent studies have challenged some of the classic examples of this …

Abstract The Paleocene (66–56 Ma) was a critical time interval for understanding recovery
from mass extinction in high palaeolatitudes when global climate was warmer than today. A …
