Toward an Integrative Historical Biogeography [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2003 Cladistic biogeographic methods remain susceptible to the confounding effects of "pseudo-congruence" and "pseudo-incongruence" because they were not designed to incorporate information on the absolute timing of the diversification of lineages.

New records of marsupials from the Miocene of Western Amazonia, Acre, Brazil [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 The Amazonian region covers a significant part of the South American continent and harbors outstanding biodiversity. However, much of its history is still unknown.

The historical biogeography of Mammalia [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011 Palaeobiogeographic reconstructions are underpinned by phylogenies, divergence times and ancestral area reconstructions, which together yield ancestral area chronograms that provide a basis for proposing and testing hypotheses of dispersal and vicariance.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Biogeographically, cycads were once widely distributed but the extant cycads are restricted to tropical and subtropical regions. They originated ∼ 300 Ma and re-diversified recently around 12 Ma, with the genus Cycas being the most rapidly diversified ...

The legacy of the extinct Neotropical megafauna on plants and biomes
Nature Communications, 2022 Herbivores are important drivers of vegetation patterns and plant evolution. Dantas and Pausas investigate how mammal herbivores affected plant traits in South and Central America, revealing that historical herbivory substantially explains current trait ...

Historical biogeography of Sri Lankan mangroves
Ceylon Journal of Science, 2017 Mangroves are a group of genetically unrelated plant taxa of angiosperms that occur in inter-tidal habitats in sheltered tropical coastlines. Biogeographically, mangrove areas are categorized into two regions: Sri Lanka is situated in the Indo-West ...

Phylogenomic history of enigmatic pygmy perches: implications for biogeography, taxonomy and conservation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Pygmy perches (Percichthyidae) are a group of poorly dispersing freshwater fishes that have a puzzling biogeographic disjunction across southern Australia. Current understanding of pygmy perch phylogenetic relationships suggests past east–west migrations

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2018 Using track analysis and cladistic biogeography, we identified areas of endemism of hummingbirds in the Andean and Neotropical regions. Our results point out that the current areas of endemism of hummingbirds occur in the Andes, Guiana Shield, the Lesser

Phylogeny, biogeography and diversification patterns of side-necked turtles (Testudines: Pleurodira) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Pleurodires or side-necked turtles are today restricted to freshwater environments of South America, Africa–Madagascar and Australia, but in the past they were distributed much more broadly, being found also on Eurasia, India and North America, and ...
