Madagascar's extraordinary biodiversity: Evolution, distribution, and use
Madagascar's biota is hyperdiverse and includes exceptional levels of endemicity. We
review the current state of knowledge on Madagascar's past and current terrestrial and …

Madagascar as a model region of species diversification
Tropical biotas provide excellent settings in which to explore mechanisms of evolutionary
diversification, yet these processes remain poorly understood. Pioneering work on …

Biogeographic evolution of Madagascar's microendemic biota
The endemic species richness on Madagascar, relative to landmass area, is unparalleled in
the world. Many organisms on the island have restricted geographical ranges. A …

The impact of anchored phylogenomics and taxon sampling on phylogenetic inference in narrow‐mouthed frogs (Anura, Microhylidae)
Despite considerable progress in unravelling the phylogenetic relationships of microhylid
frogs, relationships among subfamilies remain largely unstable and many genera are not …

A necessarily complex model to explain the biogeography of the amphibians and reptiles of Madagascar
Pattern and process are inextricably linked in biogeographic analyses, though we can
observe pattern, we must infer process. Inferences of process are often based on ad hoc …

DNA barcoding Madagascar's amphibian fauna
We provide a DNA barcoding survey of Malagasy amphibians, including 251 of the 292
nominal species known to date, by complementing previous data with 280 newly determined …

Rivaling the World's Smallest Reptiles: Discovery of Miniaturized and Microendemic New Species of Leaf Chameleons (Brookesia) from Northern Madagascar
Background One clade of Malagasy leaf chameleons, the Brookesia minima group, is known
