The integration of phylogenetics, phylogeography and palaeoenvironmental studies is
providing major insights into the historical forces that have shaped the Earth's biomes. Yet …

Refugia have been suggested as priority sites for conservation under climate change
because of their ability to facilitate survival of biota under adverse conditions. Here, we …

Phylogeography uses the spatial distribution of genealogical lineages to deduce the
influence of historical processes on the evolution of species, and can be informative in …

Natural springs in water‐limited landscapes are biodiversity hotspots and keystone
ecosystems that have a disproportionate influence on surrounding landscapes despite their …

The groundwater‐dependent springs of the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) in arid inland
Australia represent a unique and threatened ecosystem. These incredibly isolated springs …

The remains of once integrated drainage systems are still discernible in many of the hot
deserts of the world. Some of these date back to the Mesozoic, as in arid Western Australia …

We re-assess the value of morphological specific descriptors within the spring-snail genus
Bythinella by sequencing mitochondrial COI and nuclear ITS1 gene fragments. Taxonomic …

Aim We investigate the phylogeographical history and determine the time‐scale of
population divergence of hydrobiid freshwater snails (genus Trochidrobia) inhabiting …

Mitochondrial DNA sequences were used to investigate phylogenetic and biogeographic
relationships among Australian freshwater shrimp from the genus Caridina H. Milne …

ABSTRACT Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) are foci of this planet‟ s
biological diversity, living records of cultural heritage, centers of religious ritual and practice …
