Identifying the geographic origins of crops is important for the conservation and utilization of
novel genetic variation. Even so, the origins of many food crops remain elusive. The tree nut …

Trends in global and local climate history have been linked to observed macroevolutionary
patterns across a variety of organisms. These climatic pressures may unilaterally or …

Chlamydial disease control is increasingly utilised as a management tool to stabilise
declining koala populations, and yet we have a limited understanding of the factors that …

The relationship between intra-specific and inter-specific patterns and processes over
evolutionary time is key to ecological investigations. We examine this relationship taking an …

Abstract The Nullarbor Plain constitutes one of the main biogeographic barriers of Australia,
and it has been suggested to have played a key role in the disjunct distribution of numerous …

The Carpentarian barrier across north-eastern Australia is a major biogeographic barrier
and a generator of biodiversity within the Australian Monsoonal Tropics. Here we present a …

Climatic and evolutionary processes are inextricably linked to conservation. Avoiding
extinction in rapidly changing environments often depends upon a species' capacity to adapt …
