central to understanding the evolution of Australia's terrestrial biota and has long been …

The 'Field of Dreams Hypothesis' states 'if we build it, they will come', referring to the
assumption that if habitats are restored, species will recolonise them. However, the ability of …

Although populations of amphibians are declining worldwide, there is no evidence that
salamanders occupying small streams are experiencing enigmatic declines, and …

Dispersal ability is an important ecological factor that can influence population structure. In
an attempt to determine the extent that the pattern of genetic differentiation is correlated with …

We investigated the phylogeography and evolutionary history of dusky dolphins
(Lagenorhynchus obscurus) using DNA sequences of the full mitochondrial cytochrome b …

Obligate freshwater taxa are frequently distributed among catchments isolated by marine
and terrestrial barriers. Such distributions can arise through vicariant changes in drainage …

The nested clade analysis can be extremely useful in testing for an association between
genetic variation and geography and in explaining these observed patterns in terms of …

Effective management of aquatic fauna requires knowledge of the ways in which
populations in different catchments and sub‐catchments are connected. A powerful way to …

Anchialine habitats, landlocked bodies of mixohaline water that fluctuate with the tides but
have no surface connection to the sea, are known from around the world. Many anchialine …
