Aim To determine the historical dynamics of colonization and whether the relative timing of
colonization predicts diversification rate in the species‐rich, murine rodent communities of …

Aim Understanding the biotic and abiotic mechanisms underlying the generation and
maintenance of biogeographic transitions represent long‐standing topics in evolutionary …

Reconstructing the evolutionary history of island biotas is complicated by unusual
morphological evolution in insular environments. However, past human-caused extinctions …

A period of isolation in allopatry typically precedes local adaptation and subsequent
divergence among lineages. Alternatively, locally adapted phenotypes may arise and persist …

Body size is a key morphological attribute, often used to delimit species boundaries among
closely related taxa. But body size can evolve in parallel, reaching similar final states despite …

The hyperdiverse shrew genus Crocidura is one of few small mammal genera distributed
across Sundaland and all of its boundaries. This represents a rare opportunity to study the …

Aim Human activities are causing massive increases in extinction rates but might also lead
to drastic increases in speciation rates; for example, after human‐mediated spread of …

The Philippine archipelago hosts an exceptional diversity of murid rodents that have
diversified following several independent colonization events. Here, we report the discovery …

Abstract Aim The Lesser Sunda Islands are situated between the Sunda and Sahul Shelves,
with a linear arrangement that has functioned as a two‐way filter for taxa dispersing between …

Dual effects of spatial distance and environment shape archipelagic floras. In Malesia, there
are multiple environmental stressors associated with increasing uplands, drought, and metal …
