INTRODUCTION: Recent studies at sites in northern Australia have reported severe and
rapid decline of several native mammal species, notwithstanding an environmental context …

Aim We review the biogeography of the Kimberley, with a particular focus on the geological
and landscape history of the region. We identified broad geological and biogeographical …

Phylogeography, and its extensions into comparative phylogeography, have their roots in
the layering of gene trees across geography, a paradigm that was greatly facilitated by the …

Aim Biodiversity studies typically use species, or more recently phylogenetic diversity (PD),
as their analysis unit and produce a single map of observed diversity. However, observed …

The association of chromosome rearrangements (CRs) with speciation is well established,
and there is a long history of theory and evidence relating to “chromosomal speciation.” …

Mammal declines across northern Australia are one of the major biodiversity loss events
occurring globally. There has been no regional assessment of the implications of these …

The application of high-throughput, short-read sequencing to degraded DNA has greatly
increased the feasibility of generating genomic data from historical museum specimens …

A previous study showed that Dromiciops gliroides has deep phylogeographic structure,
with 3 allopatric and highly differentiated groups. Here, we constructed on that study by …

When closely related species come into contact via range expansion, both may experience
reduced fitness as a result of the interaction. Selection is expected to favour traits that …

A model of range expansions during glacial maxima (GM) for cold-adapted species is
generally accepted for the Northern Hemisphere. Given that GM in Australia largely resulted …
