Aim To infer the colonization history of reed frog species endemic to the oceanic islands of
São Tomé and Príncipe, Hyperolius molleri and H. thomensis, we quantified …

Studying the biogeography of amphipod crustaceans is of interest because they play an
important role at lower trophic levels in ecosystems. Because they lack a planktonic larval …

Oceanic islands play a central role in the study of evolution and island biogeography. The
Galapagos Islands are one of the most studied oceanic archipelagos but research has …

The origins of tropical southwest Pacific diversity are traditionally attributed to southeast Asia
or Australia. Oceanic and fragment islands are typically colonized by lineages from adjacent …

Vicariance is thought to have played a major role in the evolution of modern parrots.
However, as the relationships especially of the African taxa remained mostly unresolved, it …

Aim The loss of dispersal on islands hypothesis (LDIH) posits that wind‐dispersed plants
should exhibit reduced dispersal potential, particularly if island populations are old. In this …

Aim We assess biogeographical patterns, population structure and the range of species in
the pulmonate genus Siphonaria across the sub‐Antarctic. We hypothesized that locally …

The Mediterranean realm, comprising the Mediterranean and Macaronesian regions, has
long been recognized as one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, owing to its remarkable …

Abstract Aim Colonization of the Philippines from Taiwan or neighbouring areas of the Asian
mainland has been proposed as an important source of diversity for some plant and animal …

We document patterns of coordinated dispersal over evolutionary time frames in heroine
cichlids and poeciliine live-bearers, the two most species-rich clades of freshwater fishes in …
