Abstract Wide-range geographically discontinuous distributions have long intrigued scientists.We explore the role of ecology,geology,and dispersal in the formation of these large-scale disjunctions,using the angiosper...

The mechanisms underlying the origin,evolution,and distributional patterns of organisms are a major focus of biogeography.Vicariance and long-distance dispersal(LDD)are two important explanations for disjunctive distr...

Leandra s.str.clade has around 200 species nearly restricted to eastern Brazil.Most species in this group are narrow endemics,but a few present striking disjunct distributions between eastern Brazil and Andes or Mesoa...
Staphyleaceae traditionally comprises three genera of temperate and tropical trees and shrubs: Euscaphis Siebold & Zucc., Staphylea L., and Tuprinia Vent. These genera are clearly supported by morphology, but a rece...
This review shows a close biogeographic connection between eastern Asia and western North America from the late Cretaceous to the late Neogene in major lineages of vascular plants (flowering plants, gymnosperms, fern...
This paper reviews .31 groups in ferns and lycophytes hypothesized to show eastern Asian-North American disjunctions. Fourteen lineages have been supported by recent phylogenetic evidence: Lycopodium nikoense and Lyc...
William James challenged the traditions of British Empiricism (Hume) on one hand and German Idealism (Kant and Hegel) on the other. James' "Radical Empiricism" is a via media ("middle road") between these d...
