Geodiversity and endemism in the iconic Australian Pilbara region: a review of landscape evolution and biotic response in an ancient refugium
Aim We review the biogeography of the Pilbara, synthesize information on the geological
and landscape history of this region and surrounds, and assess fine‐scale genetic structure …

Population genomics and sexual signals support reproductive character displacement in Uperoleia (Anura: Myobatrachidae) in a contact zone
When closely related species come into contact via range expansion, both may experience
reduced fitness as a result of the interaction. Selection is expected to favour traits that …
