By Michael Heads

Molecular reports show hugely ordered geographic styles in plant and animal distributions. The tropics illustrate those styles of group immobilism resulting in allopatric differentiation, in addition to different styles of mobilism, variety growth, and overlap of taxa. Integrating Earth historical past and biogeography, Molecular Panbiogeography of the Tropics is another view of distributional historical past within which teams are older than advised through fossils and fossil-calibrated molecular clocks. the writer discusses attainable factors for the endemism of high-level taxa in tropical the US and Madagascar, and overlapping clades in South the US, Africa, and Asia. The ebook concludes with a critique of model by way of choice, based on biogeography and up to date paintings in genetics.
