This study aims at identifying the microevolutionary processes responsible for the onset of the remarkable phylogeographic structure already recorded for the endangered giant clam Tridacna squamosa across its distribu...
The fern genus Didymoglossum(Hymenophyllaceae)is not so diverse in Africa with seven species at most.However,its local taxonomy is surprisingly still strongly debated,in particular within the Didymoglossum erosum comp...

Disjunct distribution is a key issue in biogeography and ecology,but it is often difficult to determine the relative roles of dispersal vs.vicariance in disjunctions.We studied the phylogeographic pattern of the monot...

DEAR EDITOR,High mountainous terrains facilitate the diversification of biota by providing a variety of opportunities for isolation(Favre et al.,2015).Within the Nemacheilidae family of loaches,the highly diverse Nema...

The historical relationships of nine areas of endemism of the tropical montane cloud forests(TMCFs)were analysed based on a temporal cladistic biogeographical approach.Three cladistic biogeographical analyses were con...
Grasses are widespread on every continent and are found in all terrestrial biomes.The dominance and spread of grasses and grassland ecosystems have led to significant changes in Earth′s climate,geochemistry,and biodi...

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...
Based on a cladistic biogeographic analysis of 6 species-level phylogenies of harvestman taxa, wesearched for congruence in the historical relationships of 12 areas of endemism of the BrazilianAtlantic Rain Forest. We...
Caryopteris incana is a continental plant, transferred to Japan from continental Asia via a land bridge between the Korean Peninsula and Tsushima Islands during a glacial period. It currently grows wild in West Kyushu...

Disjunct distribution patterns in plant lineages are usually explained according to three hypotheses: vicariance, geodispersal, and long-distance dispersal. The role of these hypotheses is tested in Urgineoideae (Hy...
