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 …

Oceanic islands accumulate endemic species when new colonists diverge from source
populations or by in situ diversification of resident island endemics. The relative importance …

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 …

Aim Our aim was to determine the relative contribution of species replacement and richness
differences to overall beta diversity in Macaronesian spiders, the influence of several …

Abstract The modern and Late Pleistocene terrestrial fauna of Miyako Jima and adjacent
islands (the Miyako Islands) in the southern Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan, includes …

To understand the success of invasive species, it is important to know whether colonization
events are facilitated by adaptive evolution or are limited to sites where a species is pre …

Abstract Aim To describe New Zealand's historical terrestrial biogeography and place this
history in a wider Southern Hemisphere context. Location New Zealand. Methods The …

The spectacular adaptive radiations on the Hawaiian Islands offer the tantalizing possibility
of ascertaining the predictability of evolution, especially with regard to how the archipelago's …

Aim To infer historical‐biogeographical patterns and processes in South America based on
estimated divergence times and ancestral distributions for a diverse clade of small …

During the Late Devonian Biodiversity Crisis, the primary driver of biodiversity decline was
the dramatic reduction in speciation rates, not elevated extinction rates; however, the causes …
