Within the Formicidae, the higher classification of nearly all subfamilies has been recently
revised given the findings of molecular phylogenetics. Here, we integrate morphology and …

Stony corals (Scleractinia) form the basis for some of the most diverse ecosytems on Earth,
but we have much to learn about their evolutionary history and systematic relationships. In …

Islands are separated by natural barriers that prevent gene flow between terrestrial
populations and promote allopatric diversification. Birds in the South Pacific are an excellent …

The study of island community assembly has been fertile ground for develo** and testing
theoretical ideas in ecology and evolution. The ecoevolutionary trajectory of lineages after …

Islands were key to the development of allopatric speciation theory because they are a
natural laboratory of repeated barriers to gene flow caused by open water gaps. Despite …

Pleistocene sea‐level change played a significant role in the evolution and assembly of
island biotas. The formation of land bridges between islands during Quaternary glacial …

Coevolution of competitors can lead to niche partitioning promoting coexistence or to
heightened conflicts promoting competitive exclusion. If both are possible, when should …

Within the Formicidae, the higher classification of nearly all subfamilies has been recently

Depuis les premières observations de Darwin et Wallace, les radiations évolutives
présentes sur les archipels océaniques (ROAs) n'ont cessé d'être étudiées par la …

Maximilian Hirschfeld studied how barriers in the ocean shape genetic and biogeographic
patterns in elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays). A global synthesis and results from two …
