Background & Aims: The regions of Southeast Asia are recognized as global biodiversity
hotspots that require conservation priority. Since the mid-19th century, Southeast Asia has …

Global cooling began since 50 Ma, but a warm climate was maintained in the archipelagic
tectonic system in Southeast Asia where a wealth of Cenozoic oil and gas resources was …

Biogeographic history can lead to variation in biodiversity across regions, but it remains
unclear how the degree of biogeographic isolation among communities may lead to …

Theory links dispersal and diversity, predicting the highest diversity at intermediate dispersal
levels. However, the modulation of this relationship by macro-eco-evolutionary mechanisms …

Understanding how continental radiations are assembled across space and time is a major
question in macroevolutionary biology. Here, we use a phylogenomic-scale phylogeny, a …

Climate change is the most significant threat to natural World Heritage (WH) sites, especially
in the oceans. Warming has devastated marine faunas, including reef corals, kelp, and …

Tropical forests occupy small coral atolls to the vast Amazon basin. They occur across
bioregions with different geological and climatic history. Differences in area and bioregional …

Environmental filtering and dispersal history limit plant distributions and affect
biogeographical patterns, but how their relative importance varies across evolutionary …

Aims Glacial retreat at the end of the Pleistocene epoch opened vast expanses of emergent
habitat in the northern hemisphere that were colonized by opportunistic taxa. However …

Alfred Russel Wallace is known for the “Wallace Line” in addition to his work on natural
selection alongside Charles Darwin. This paper reviews Wallace's contributions to evolution …
