Phylogenetic approaches to biogeography are rapidly becoming more sophisticated. Four
types of models are being explored in the literature:(a) diffusion models,(b) island models,(c) …

Postglacial recolonisation patterns are well documented for the Northern Hemisphere biota,
but comparable processes in the Southern Hemisphere have only recently been examined …

Marine provinces, founded on contrasting floras or faunas, have been recognized for more
than 150 years but were not consistently defined by endemism until 1974. At that time …

Through eight successful editions, and over nearly 40 years, Biogeography: An Ecological
and Evolutionary Approach has provided a thorough and comprehensive exploration of the …

The isolation of the Southern Ocean after the opening of Drake Passage some 23–25 million
years ago, the formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the subsequent cooling of the …

The end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) dramatically reshaped temperate ecosystems,
with many species moving poleward as temperatures rose and ice receded. Whereas …

Tests for isolation by distance (IBD) are the most commonly used method of assessing
spatial genetic structure. Many studies have exclusively used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) …

Despite their ecological and economic importance, no summary of kelp global biogeography
has been produced for almost two decades. The circumscription of the order Laminariales …

Antarctic shallow coastal marine communities were long thought to be isolated from their
nearest neighbours by hundreds of kilometres of deep ocean and the Antarctic Circumpolar …

The Antarctic biota is highly endemic, and the diversity and abundance of taxonomic groups
differ from elsewhere in the world. Such characteristics have resulted from evolution in …
