The evolution of endothermy in birds and mammals was one of the most important events in
the evolution of the vertebrates. Past tests of hypotheses on the evolution of endothermy in …

Faunal turnover in Indo-Australia across Wallace's Line is one of the most recognizable
patterns in biogeography and has catalyzed debate about the role of evolutionary and …

Widespread fish clades that occur mainly or exclusively in fresh water represent a key target
of biogeographical investigation due to limited potential for crossing marine barriers …

The platyrrhine primates, or New World monkeys, are immigrant mammals whose fossil

This review brings together evidence on the monophyly and ages of angiosperm lineages

Abstract Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal
assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time‐calibrated phylogeny, including …

Worm lizards (Amphisbaenia) are burrowing squamates that live as subterranean predators.
Their underground existence should limit dispersal, yet they are widespread throughout the …

Abstract The Late Cretaceous saw distinctly endemic dinosaur faunas evolve in the northern
and southern hemispheres. The Laurasian continents of North America and Asia were …

Many tropical tree species occupy continental expanses of rainforest and flank dispersal
barriers such as oceans and mountains. The role of long‐distance dispersal in establishing …

Rhinoceroses are among the most endangered mammalian species today. Their past
