Abbreviation of larval development and extension of brood care as key features of the evolution of freshwater Decapoda
G Vogt - Biological Reviews, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The transition from marine to freshwater habitats is one of the major steps in the evolution of
life. In the decapod crustaceans, four groups have colonized fresh water at different …

Diversification of rhacophorid frogs provides evidence for accelerated faunal exchange between India and Eurasia during the Oligocene
JT Li, Y Li, S Klaus, DQ Rao… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
The accretion of the Indian subcontinent to Eurasia triggered a massive faunal and floral
exchange, with Gondwanan taxa entering into Asia and vice versa. The traditional view on …

Ancient river inference explains exceptional Oriental freshwater mussel radiations
The concept of long-lived (ancient) lakes has had a great influence on the development of
evolutionary biogeography. According to this insight, a number of lakes on Earth have …
