‘Next generation’ biogeography: towards understanding the drivers of species diversification and persistence [PDF]

, 2013
The drivers of species diversification and persistence are of great interest to current biogeography, especially in those global biodiversity ‘hotspots’ harbouring most of Earth's animal and plant life.
