Antarctica's ecological isolation will be broken by storm-driven dispersal and warming
Antarctica has long been considered biologically isolated. Global warming will make parts of
Antarctica more habitable for invasive taxa, yet presumed barriers to dispersal—especially …

Model selection in historical biogeography reveals that founder-event speciation is a crucial process in island clades
NJ Matzke - Systematic biology, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Founder-event speciation, where a rare jump dispersal event founds a new genetically
isolated lineage, has long been considered crucial by many historical biogeographers, but …

[图书][B] Probabilistic historical biogeography: new models for founder-event speciation, imperfect detection, and fossils allow improved accuracy and model-testing
NJ Matzke - 2013 - search.proquest.com
Historical biogeography has a diversity of methods for inferring ancestral geographic ranges
on phylogenies, but many of the methods have conflicting assumptions, and there is no …

A conceptual framework for range-expanding species that track human-induced environmental change
For many species, human-induced environmental changes are important indirect drivers of
range expansion into new regions. We argue that it is important to distinguish the range …
