Abstract:
Here, we describe a new species of Eusarcus and reconstruct the geographical evolution of its species group based on biogeographical event-based analysis. Eusarcus dandara sp. nov. has been recorded from Alagoas state, in northeastern Brazil, which represents an important range extension of the genus to the northern Atlantic Rainforest. We performed a cladistic morphological analysis based on new data and data from a previous systematic review of the genus to reconstruct the phylogenetic placement of the new species. This analysis resulted in six most parsimonious cladograms. We performed the

Abstract:
Downscaled paleoclimate datasets are widely used in biogeographical research, aiding our understanding of past environmental shifts and species' responses to climate change. Numerous datasets exist, varying in spatiotemporal resolution and underlying methodologies, resulting in variation in estimated temperature. Understanding this variability is important for accurately reconstructing past biogeographical dynamics, especially in complex regions like mountains. We compare the Mean Annual Temperature (MAT) at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) from five different downscaled paleoclimate datasets —

Abstract:
Nothofagus is an ancient genus with a distribution that has attracted considerable interest from biogeographers. The lack of consensus among biogeographical reconstructions is probably due to emphasis being placed solely or largely on the living species. Nothofagus had a much greater distribution and diversity in the past than it has now; this makes it difficult to reconstruct its history from living species’ interrelationships and distribution. Unfortunately, the fossil record is difficult to interpret, and contains many records that convey no useful information or possibly even misinformatio

Abstract This study integrates biogeographical and phylogenetic data to determine the evolutionary history of the New World Dermacentor, and the origin of D. variabilis. The phylogenetic reconstructions presented here strongly support the hypothesis of an Afrotropical origin for Dermacentor, with later dispersal to Eurasia and the Nearctic. Phylogenetic and biogeographical data suggest that the genus reached the New World through the Beringia land bridge, from south-east Asia. The monophyly of the genus is supported, and most of the New World Dermacentor species appear as monophyletic. Dermace

The Global Pollen Database is an example of a successful data synthesis effort that has uses for biogeographical and climate change studies. Results are of interest in many fields of physical geography. Continental-scale maps of past conditions have been used in data-model comparison studies. Time series, developed by averaging quantitative reconstructions from many sites, have indicated that millennial-scale climate variability has affected the vegetation of Europe and North America during the Holocene. Major transitions in the vegetation of Europe and North America occurred at the same time,

Suspect terranes in western North America and northeastern Siberia contain Permian taxa which were endemic to the Tethyan region. According to one hypothesis, the rocks containing these faunas were transported across the Paleopacific Ocean by plate motion during the Mesozoic. An alternative explanation is that the Tethyan species crossed the Paleopacific Ocean in much the same way as modern Indo-Pacific corals migrated into central America. A third hypothesis attributes their presence in North America to dispersal through a marine corridor between the Tethys and Paleopacific oceans. Trend-surf

The structural history of the Alborz region is well known, though faunal data for the area are sparse, especially for the Ordovician. Trilobites, brachiopods, conodonts, bryozoans and echinoderms occur in a red grainstone/packstone near the village of Tatavrud, 35 km southwest of Bandar-e-Anzali. The fossils indicate a Late Ordovician age, although lithologically similar outcrops in northern Iran have previously been considered Silurian. Trilobi

Abstract:
The island of Sri Lanka’s exceptional biodiversity and enigmatic biogeography begs investigation, as the island is key in understanding the evolution of the Asian tropical flora. Since the Jurassic, Sri Lanka has been subjected to remarkable tectonic changes, thus its flora could have been influenced by that of a number of nearby landmasses, as well giving Sri Lanka the potential to have played a wider role in the assemblage of floras elsewhere. Firstly, as Sri Lanka originated as a fragment of the supercontinent Gondwana, part of its flora may contain Gondwanan relict lineages. There is also

Biogeographers have long searched for common processes responsible for driving diversification in the Holarctic region. Although terrestrial flora and fauna have been well studied, much of the marine biogeographic work addresses patterns and processes occurring over a relatively recent timescale. A prerequisite to comparative biogeographic analysis requires well-resolved phylogenies of similarly distributed taxa that diverged over a similar timeframe. The overall aim of my Ph.D. thesis was to address fundamental questions in the systematics and biogeography of a family of Holarctic fish (Os

The chapter then details the extent of systematics, molecular systematics, fossil record, and molecular clocks estimating times of divergence.

Reconstructing this history is difficult because the Mediterranean basin is one of the most complex regions in the world and is characterized by significant geographical and topographical variation. The Mediterranean basin was formed during the Tertiary by the convergence of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, in combination with several African microplates, Iberia, and two main African promontories
