In biogeography, vicariance and long‐distance dispersal are often characterised as
competing scenarios. However, they are related concepts, both relying on collective …

Studies of the biogeography of the West Indies are numerous but not all taxonomic groups
have received the same attention. Many of the contributions to this field have historically …

The fish subfamily Poeciliinae (sensu Parenti, 1981) is widely distributed across the Western
Hemisphere and a dominant component of the fish communities of Central America …

Aim We explore the evolutionary history of the ogre‐faced spiders (Deinopis) from their Early
Cretaceous origins to present day. Specifically, we investigate how vicariance and dispersal …

New World bats represent over one third of global bat species and encompass the widest
adaptive radiation among bats. Modern bat diversity in the Americas resulted from a mixture …

Aim Many animal groups diversify at the same place where they have originated, whereas
others diversify at a place completely different from the centre of origin. Identification of the …

The origin of the Caribbean biota remains debated, but amassing evidence suggests
important roles of both dispersal and vicariance events in the colonization the archipelago …

Abstract Poeciliids (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae), commonly known as livebearers, are
popular fishes in the aquarium trade (eg, guppies, mollies, swordtails) that are widely …

Aim A wholistic biogeographical reconstruction should combine a phylogeny with specifics
of organismal biology, plate tectonics and consequent probabilities of historic dispersal …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a natural toxicant in some aquatic environments that has diverse
molecular targets. It binds to oxygen transport proteins, rendering them non-functional by …
