Are the Senses Ever Vicarious? [PDF]
Scientific American, 1909 IT is a prevalent opinion that if a human being is bereft of one sense, one or more of the other senses become more acute, and thus establish a compensation. For example it is generally believed that the blind have the senses of touch and of hearing, more especially of touch, developed to a degree of acuteness not found in those who see, and that, in ...

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1568-1581, June 2026.ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

, 2021 Gondwanan biogeographic patterns include a combination of old vicariance events following the breakup of the supercontinent, and more recent long-distance dispersals across the southern landmasses.

Use of dispersal–vicariance analysis in biogeography – a critique
, 2009 Aim Analytical methods are commonly used to identify historical processes of vicariance and dispersal in the evolution of taxa. Currently, dispersal–vicariance analysis implemented in the software diva is the most widely used method.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Carex section Echinochlaenae has a disjunct distribution across the Southern Hemisphere. It displays a clear center of diversity in New Zealand coupled with extreme morphological and ecological diversification, suggesting a potential evolutionary radiation.

Ecology and Evolution, 2016 How the often highly endemic biodiversity of islands originated has been debated for decades, and it remains a fervid research ground. Here, using mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequence analyses, we investigate the diversity, phylogenetic relationships,

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Beta diversity analyses clarify mechanisms structuring ecological communities, but their multidimensional facets remain poorly explored in arthropods. Here, we quantified taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional beta diversity in scorpions, partitioned these facets into species replacement and richness differences, and evaluated the ...

RECASTING VICARIOUS LIABILITY [PDF]
The Cambridge Law Journal, 2012 Reviews case law broadening the scope of vicarious liability to discuss its possible application to the voluntary sector. Assesses the rationale for a contract of service to exist for a party to be held vicariously liable for another's torts. Provides a scheme to accommodate all existing forms of vicarious liability.
