Sky Calendars of the Indo-Malay Archipelago

The Malay Archipelago

The Victorians, who knew nothing of genetics, greatly believed in heredity, and Charles Darwin was born, in 1809, into a family which offered considerable advantages along this line. Darwin's mother was Susannah Wedgwood, whose name is honored for its beautiful china still being produced today. His father, Dr. Robert Darwin, was a well-known physician, and the son of Dr. Eramus Darwin, an early...

Mitochondrial DNA analysis of the geographic structure of Indian scad mackerel , Decapterus russelli ( Carangidae ) in the Indo - Malay archipelago

Strong genetic differentiation in tropical seagrass Enhalus acoroides (Hydrocharitaceae) at the Indo-Malay Archipelago revealed by microsatellite DNA

The Indo-Malay Archipelago is regarded as a barrier that separates organisms of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Previous studies of marine biota from this region have found a variety of biogeographic barriers, seemingly dependent on taxon and methodology. Several hypotheses, such as emergence of the Sunda Shelf and recent physical oceanography, have been proposed to account for the genetic struc...

Limited connectivity and a phylogeographic break characterize populations of the pink anemonefish, Amphiprion perideraion, in the Indo-Malay Archipelago: inferences from a mitochondrial and microsatellite loci

To enhance the understanding of larval dispersal in marine organisms, species with a sedentary adult stage and a pelagic larval phase of known duration constitute ideal candidates, because inferences can be made about the role of larval dispersal in population connectivity. Members of the immensely diverse marine fauna of the Indo-Malay Archipelago are of particular importance in this respect, ...
