Parachute geckos free fall into synonymy: Gekko phylogeny, and a new subgeneric classification, inferred from thousands of ultraconserved elements
Recent phylogenetic studies of gekkonid lizards have revealed unexpected, widespread
paraphyly and polyphyly among genera, unclear generic boundaries, and a tendency …

Wallacean and Melanesian islands promote higher rates of diversification within the global passerine radiation Corvides
The complex island archipelagoes of Wallacea and Melanesia have provided empirical data
behind integral theories in evolutionary biology, including allopatric speciation and island …

Reconstructing the nonadaptive radiation of an ancient lineage of ground‐dwelling stick insects (Phasmatodea: Heteropterygidae)
Stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea) are large terrestrial herbivorous arthropods known for
masquerading as plant parts such as bark, twigs and leaves. Their evolutionary history is …

Phylogenomics of monitor lizards and the role of competition in dictating body size disparity
Organismal interactions drive the accumulation of diversity by influencing species ranges,
morphology, and behavior. Interactions vary from agonistic to cooperative and should result …

[KNIHA][B] Island biogeography: geo-environmental dynamics, ecology, evolution, human impact, and conservation
Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …

Plants will cross the lines: climate and available land mass are the major determinants of phytogeographical patterns in the Sunda–Sahul Convergence Zone
The Miocene convergence of the Sunda shelf, Sahul shelf and Wallacea facilitated the
exchange of previously isolated floras across the Sunda–Sahul Convergence Zone (SSCZ) …

The first phylogeny of Australasian Lamiinae longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) reveals poor tribal classification and a complex biogeographic history
We used phylogenomic data and information from the beetle fossil record to reconstruct the
phylogeny and historical biogeography of Australasian longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in …

Phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic range evolution in cat-eyed snakes, Boiga (Serpentes: Colubridae)
The genus Boiga includes 35, primarily arboreal snake species distributed from the Middle
East to Australia and many islands in the western Pacific, with particularly high species …

Oligo-Miocene radiation within South-west Pacific arc terranes underpinned repeated upstream continental dispersals in pigeons (Columbiformes)
Upstream colonizations from islands to continents have played an important role in two
major global bird radiations: the oscine passerines and the pigeons. Here, we investigate …
