New Zealand has long been a conundrum to biogeographers, possessing as it does
geophysical and biotic features characteristic of both an island and a continent. This schism …

Neutral models characterize evolutionary or ecological patterns expected in the absence of
specific causal processes, such as natural selection or ecological interactions. In this study …

" Rather than favoring only one approach, Juan J. Morrone proposes a comprehensive
treatment of the developments and theories of evolutionary biogeography. Evolutionary …

Recent advances in long-read sequencing technology have allowed for single-molecule
sequencing of entire mitochondrial genomes, opening the door for direct investigation of the …

Sexual reproduction is both extremely costly and widespread relative to asexual
reproduction, meaning that it must also confer profound advantages in order to persist. One …

Natural animal populations are rarely screened for ploidy‐level variation at a scale that
allows detection of potentially important aberrations of common ploidy patterns. This type of …

Invasiveness might depend on the ability of genetically diverse populations of exotic species
to adapt to novel environments, which suggests a paradox since exotic species are …

Aim Increasing our understanding of the effects of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and
determining the location of refugia requires studies on widely distributed species with dense …

Background Despite its key location between the rest of the continent and Europe, research
on the phylogeography of north African species remains very limited compared to European …
