Climate change poses an urgent threat to biodiversity that demands societal responses. The
magnitude of this challenge is reflected in recent international commitments to protect 30 …

Disjunct distributions of flora and fauna have intrigued biogeographers for centuries and
have been central to debates over the roles that dispersal and vicariance have in speciation …

What shapes variation in genetic structure within a community of codistributed species is a
central but difficult question for the field of population genetics. With a focus on the isolated …

Aim This systematic review aims to analyse the current status of research on marine bipolar
and antitropical distribution patterns by exploring temporal trends, studied taxa …

Determining the relative influence of biotic and abiotic factors on genetic connectivity among
populations remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology and in the management and …

California (USA) recreational fisheries are biologically and economically important, and
depend heavily on demersal fish species, especially during winter and spring months. While …

The geographic distributions of marine fishes have been shaped by ancient vicariance and
ongoing dispersal events. Some species exhibit anti‐equatorial distributions, inhabiting …

Working in the Galápagos Islands and surrounding areas, we examined the relationship
between population structure, a precursor to allopatric speciation, in species of reef fishes …

Aim Anti‐tropical taxa are species split by the tropics into disjunct northern and southern
populations. These distributions occur throughout the Tree of Life, but the mechanisms …

Fishes described as “anti-equatorial” have disjunct distributions, inhabiting temperate
habitat patches on both sides of the tropics. Several alternative hypotheses suggest how …
