Heads, Michael

2010 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02311.x

Aim The distributions of many New Caledonian taxa were reviewed in order to ascertain the main biogeographical connections with other areas. Location Global. Methods Panbiogeographical analysis. Results Twenty‐four areas of endemism (tracks) involving New Caledonia and different areas of...

Lauraceae fossils from a volcanic Palaeocene oceanic island, Ninetyeast Ridge, Indian Ocean: ancient long‐distance dispersal?

Carpenter, Raymond J.; Truswell, Elizabeth M.; Harris, Wayne K.

2010 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02279.x

Aim Geological and fossil records are critical for historical biogeography studies. A plant fossil assemblage from a small, well‐dated, transient late Palaeocene island was re‐investigated with regard to regional geology and vicariance versus dispersal hypotheses. Location Deep Sea Drilling...

Trans‐Atlantic, trans‐Pacific and trans‐Indian Ocean dispersal in the small Gondwanan Laurales family Hernandiaceae

Michalak, Ingo; Zhang, Li‐Bing; Renner, Susanne S.

2010 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02306.x

Aim To investigate the historical biogeography of the pantropical flowering plant family Hernandiaceae (Laurales), which today comprises 62 species in five genera. Location Hernandiaceae occur in Africa (9 species), Madagascar (4), the Neotropics (25), Australia (3), southern China, Indochina,...

Biogeography of the Monimiaceae (Laurales): a role for East Gondwana and long‐distance dispersal, but not West Gondwana

Renner, Susanne S.; Strijk, Joeri S.; Strasberg, Dominique; Thébaud, Christophe

2010 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02319.x

Aim The biogeography of the tropical plant family Monimiaceae has long been thought to reflect the break‐up of West and East Gondwana, followed by limited transoceanic dispersal. Location Southern Hemisphere, with fossils in East and West Gondwana. Methods We use phylogenetic analysis of DNA...

The endemic plant families and the palms of New Caledonia: a biogeographical analysis

Heads, Michael

2010 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02292.x

This paper provides a panbiogeographical analysis of the endemic plant families and the palms of New Caledonia. There are three endemic plant families in New Caledonia and several genera that were previously recognized as endemic families. Of these taxa, some are sister to widespread Northern...

Repeated vicariance of Eurasian songbird lineages since the Late Miocene

Voelker, Gary

2010 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02313.x

Aim The evolution of avian speciation patterns across much of Eurasia is under‐explored. Excepting phylogeographic patterns of single species, or speciation involving the Himalayas, there has been no attempt to understand the evolution of avian distributional patterns across the rest of the...

The extreme Beringian/Atlantic disjunction in Saxifraga rivularis (Saxifragaceae) has formed at least twice

Westergaard, Kristine Bakke; Jørgensen, Marte Holten; Gabrielsen, Tove M.; Alsos, Inger Greve; Brochmann, Christian

2010 Journal of Biogeography

doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02278.x

Aim The oceanic Saxifraga rivularis L. presents one of the most extreme disjunctions known in the arctic flora: it has a small amphi‐Beringian range and a larger amphi‐Atlantic one. It was recently suggested to have had a single allopolyploid origin in Beringia at least one glacial cycle ago,...
