Many aquatic organisms rely on passive transport of resting stages for their dispersal. In this
review, we provide evidence pointing to the high dispersal capacity of both animals …

A major contribution to our initial understanding of the origin, history and biogeography of
the present‐day arctic flora was made by Eric Hultén in his landmark book Outline of the …

Many representatives of freshwater zooplankton produce at some stage in their life cycle
resting stages. A variable portion of the eggs of the previous growing period will hatch at the …

Even before the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, the perception of evolutionary
change has been a tree-like pattern of diversification-with divergent branches spreading …

Up to the 1960s, there was nearly complete consensus that disjunctions and endemism in
the North Atlantic cannot be explained without in situ survival during the glaciations (the" …

The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer,
and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …

Molecular studies have enlightened our understanding of freshwater zooplankton
biogeography, yet questions remain regarding the scale and commonality of geographic …

Phylogeographic analyses have revealed the importance of Pleistocene vicariance events
in shaping the distribution of genetic diversity in freshwater fishes. However, few studies …

The relative importance of local and regional factors to community buildup is a key question
in community ecology. Dispersal capacity is an important regional determinant but is very …

Species with a large geographic distributions present a challenge for phylogeographic
studies due to logistic difficulties of obtaining adequate sampling. For instance, in most …
