The integration of phylogenetics, phylogeography and palaeoenvironmental studies is
providing major insights into the historical forces that have shaped the Earth's biomes. Yet …

Abstract Aim The Australian deserts are home to a remarkable diversity of taxa that might
appear to have evolved in the absence of topographic and physical barriers to dispersal. In …

Obligate freshwater taxa are frequently distributed among catchments isolated by marine
and terrestrial barriers. Such distributions can arise through vicariant changes in drainage …

Controlling pathogens within the aquaculture systems is important to prevent their impact on
both human health and wild native populations. It is not uncommon for aquaculture ponds to …

This study used phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences to
investigate genetic diversity within three broadly co-distributed freshwater fish genera …

The taxonomy of Hypseleotris fish species from the Indo-Pacific (Australian endemics not
included) is revised, using combined molecular and morphological approaches. Seven …

Since evolutionary processes, such as dispersal, adaptation and drift, occur in a
geographical context, at multiple hierarchical levels, biogeography provides a central and …

Artesian springs are particularly sensitive freshwater ecosystems, characterized by
specialized flora and fauna which, owing to their isolation, are often endemic. Thus …

Dispersal is a critically important process that dictates population persistence, gene flow,
and evolutionary potential, and is an essential element for identifying species conservation …

The rivers of southeastern Australia host a species complex within the carp gudgeon genus
Hypseleotris that includes parental species and hemiclonal hybrid lineages. These …
