Late Cretaceous vicariance in Gondwanan amphibians. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2006
Overseas dispersals are often invoked when Southern Hemisphere terrestrial and freshwater organism phylogenies do not fit the sequence or timing of Gondwana fragmentation.

Phylogenetic and Environmental Insights Into the Biogeography of the Western Blacknose Dace, <i>Rhinichthys obtusus</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Pleistocene glaciations have shaped freshwater fish evolution and distribution patterns across North America. This study investigated the phylogeographical history of the Western Blacknose Dace (Rhinichthys obtusus) using mitochondrial genomic data, revealing three major clades that diverged 2–1.5 million years ago during Pleistocene glaciations when ...

Dispersal vs. vicariance: the origin of India’s extant tetrapod fauna [PDF]

, 2021
Given the Indian block’s ancient association with Gondwana and subsequent separation from Africa, then Madagascar, then the Seychelles, vicariance has often been invoked to explain the distribution of some of India’s extant biota that might have had ...

Deep vicariance and frequent transoceanic dispersal shape the evolutionary history of a globally distributed fern family

, 2022
W.L.T. received support from NSF under Grant DEB-2045319.Premise. The historical biogeography of ferns is typically expected to be dominated by long‐distance dispersal due to their minuscule spores.

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,

Phylogeography of the Cactophilic Drosophila and Other Arthropods Associated with Cactus Necroses in the Sonoran Desert

Insects, 2011
Studies on the population genetics, phylogenetic relationships, systematics and evolution of arthropods that inhabit necrotic tissue of cacti in the Sonoran Desert of North America are reviewed. These studies have focused upon several species of insects (
