Forum on historical biogeography: what is cladistic biogeography? [PDF]
Journal of Biogeography, 2005 J. J. Morrone: Several papers published recently in this journal have revised and discussed some current different approaches of historical biogeography. In my opinion, some of their conclusions referring to the objectives and methods of cladistic biogeography were incorrect and may lead to some confusion. I would like to begin our exchange of opinions

Historical Biogeography Using Species Geographical Ranges [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2015 Spatial variation in biodiversity is the result of complex interactions between evolutionary history and ecological factors. Methods in historical biogeography combine phylogenetic information with current species locations to infer the evolutionary history of a clade through space and time.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 There are about 140 species of Callicarpa L. 1753 (Lamiaceae), with more species richness in tropical to subtropical Asia and the New World. The genus might provide an insight into the amphi-Pacific disjunction pattern of tropical and subtropical ...

Historical Biogeography: The New Synthesis [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 Since Darwin first noted the impact of past ice ages on the distribution of organisms, biogeographers have debated whether Pleistocene glaciations shaped evolutionary patterns. A new synthesis of population genetics and palaeoclimatology promises unprecedented insights into Pleistocene evolutionary history.

Historical Biogeography of Subterranean Beetles – “Plato’s Cave” or Scientific Evidence?
Acta Carsologica, 2007 The last two decades were particularly prolific in historical biogeography because of new information introduced from other sciences, such as paleogeography, by the development of quantitative methods and by molecular phylogeny.

Implications of rbcL phylogeny for historical biogeography of genus Mercurialis L.: Estimating age and center of origin [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2010 The aim of this study was to address questions concerning the historical biogeography of the genus Mercurialis in the subfamily Acalyphoideae. Applying a molecular clock to obtained rbcL phylogeny, we estimated the minimal age of divergence of genus ...

LIVING ON THE EDGE: TIMING OF RAND FLORA DISJUNCTIONS CONGRUENT WITH ONGOING ARIDIFICATION IN AFRICA
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 The Rand Flora is a well-known floristic pattern in which unrelated plant lineages show similar disjunct distributions in the continental margins of Africa and adjacent islands —Macaronesia-northwest Africa, Horn of Africa-Southern Arabia, Eastern Africa,
