Vicariance divergence and gene flow among islet populations of an endemic lizard.

open access: yes, 2011
Allopatry and allopatric speciation can arise through two different mechanisms: vicariance or colonization through dispersal. Distinguishing between these different allopatric mechanisms is difficult and one of the major challenges in biogeographical ...

Signatures of seaway closures and founder dispersal in the phylogeny of a circumglobally distributed seahorse lineage

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background The importance of vicariance events on the establishment of phylogeographic patterns in the marine environment is well documented, and generally accepted as an important cause of cladogenesis. Founder dispersal (i.e.

Evolutionary and biogeographic relationships of related Ranunculus taxa: dispersal, vicariance and pseudovicariance as mechanisms of change

open access: yes, 2019
Background: The disjunct distribution patterns of a taxon may arise when previously continuous distribution ranges are fragmented. The phenomena of vicariance and dispersal, together with hybridisation as an important source of genetic variation in ...

Unveiling vicariant methodologies in vicariance biogeography : not anything goes

open access: yes, 2000
In vicariance biogeography, the present distribution of species over areas is explained with different historical processes. Vicariance is one of these processes and involves speciation by the formation of isolating barriers between areas.

A congruent molecular signature of vicariance across multiple plant linages

open access: yes, 2007
Explaining disjunct distributions, or why closely related organisms are often separated by apparently severe barriers such as oceans or deserts, is a great challenge for historical biogeography. Competing explanations are long-distance dispersal across a

Vicariance, Complexity, Space

open access: yes, 2018
The peculiar topic of this research - perspective taking and spatial navigation - has naturally led to cross over the course of the journey other spatial navigation comprehensions.

Biogeography of Coptis Salisb. (Ranunculales, Ranunculaceae, Coptidoideae), an Eastern Asian and North American genus

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Numerous studies have favored dispersal (colonization) over vicariance (past fragmentation) events to explain eastern Asian-North American distribution patterns. In plants, however the disjunction between eastern Asia and western North America

Metapopulation vicariance in the Pacific genus Coprosma (Rubiaceae) and its Gondwanan relatives

open access: yes, 2017
Coprosma is perhaps the most ubiquitous plant genus in New Zealand. It belongs to the tribe Anthospermeae, which is distinctive in the family Rubiaceae through its small, simple, wind-pollinated flowers and its southern hemisphere distribution. The tribe

Inferring possible population divergence in Espeletia pycnophylla (Asteraceae) through morphometric and paleogeographic approaches

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2010
The phenotypic structure within and between plant populations is generally influenced by their distribution patterns in space and time; therefore, the study of their divergence is a central issue for the understanding of their microevolutive processes ...
