The extraordinary species richness and endemism of the Indo-Australian Archipelago (IAA)
exists in one of the most geologically dynamic regions of the planet. The provenance of its …

We present SequenceMatrix, software that is designed to facilitate the assembly and
analysis of multi‐gene datasets. Genes are concatenated by dragging and drop** FASTA …

Several of the biggest challenges in taxonomy and systematics are related to a toxic mixture
of small size, abundance, and rarity. There are too many species in groups with too few …

Invasive species have devastating economic and ecological impacts worldwide, but
proactive monitoring programs are rare on the global stage. By definition, tramp ants are …

The concepts of biogeographical regions and areas of endemism are briefly reviewed prior
to a discussion of what constitutes a natural biogeographical unit. It is concluded that a …

Deep mitochondrial divergence within species may result from cryptic speciation, from
phylogeographic isolation or from endosymbiotic bacteria like Wolbachia that manipulate …

Widespread species have the potential to reveal large‐scale biogeographical patterns, as
well as responses to environmental changes possibly unique to habitat generalists. This …

Abstract The Sunda Arc forms an almost continuous chain of islands and thus a potential
dispersal corridor between mainland Southeast Asia and Melanesia. However, the Sunda …

The biogeography of Iceland is controversial. Some authors believe that all Icelandic life
originated after postglacial dispersal events (tabula rasa hypothesis), but others assume that …

The Lepidoptera is one of the most widespread and recognisable insect orders. Due to their
remarkable diversity, economic and ecological importance, moths and butterflies have been …
