The biogeography of tropical reef fishes: endemism and provinciality through time

Biogeography and Population Connectivity of Coral Reef Fishes

Microbial Endemism and Biogeography

The topic of microbial biogeography is almost 100 years old, however, when confronted with questions about the existence and extent of endemism in the microbial world, many microbiologists respond with opinions and theoretical arguments rather than examples of well-conducted studies. We begin this chapter with an overview of this debate as it ·applies to free-living prokaryotes in part because ...

Ecological speciation in tropical reef fishes.

The high biodiversity in tropical seas provides a long-standing challenge to allopatric speciation models. Physical barriers are few in the ocean and larval dispersal is often extensive, a combination that should reduce opportunities for speciation. Yet coral reefs are among the most species-rich habitats in the world, indicating evolutionary processes beyond conventional allopatry. In a survey...
